Notes
Tips for Making Bakery-Style, Fluffy Lemon Muffins with Blueberries
You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using fresh blueberries, coat with a tablespoon of flour. This will prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. If using frozen, use them while they are still frozen. waiting and using them when thawed will make your muffins blue.
Why add oil to the batter? The oil addition will make your muffins come out much more tender and moist.
These muffins can be made a bit healthier by subbing in whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour, however the texture will be slightly different, more dense. I would recommend using a half and half combination to keep the consistency the same.
Don't like blueberries? No problem! Swap out for your favorite berry such as strawberries or even sub in pieces of mango or peaches.
Do these muffins freeze well? Absolutely! Just wait for them to cool then place in ziploc freezer baggie and freeze. They will keep up to 3 months in the freezer.
