Bursting with berries and drizzled with a light lemony glaze, these muffins are moist, tender and truly something special. This is one recipe you simply must try for family and friends. —Kathy Harding, Richmond, Missouri

Lemon-Blueberry Muffins Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min.
  • Yield: 11 Servings
30 25 55

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Dash salt
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • GLAZE:
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the milk, lemon juice and peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in blueberries.
  • Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in muffin comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
  • In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, butter and vanilla; drizzle over warm muffins. Yield: 11 muffins.

Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

Excellent muffins. So homemade flavor. Better than any bakery muffins.

I've made these muffins several times and they are not only easy, but very delicious. Family and co-workers devour them! I usually don't bother with the glaze - to me it's just adding extra calories that are needed to improve on the flavour. The recipe is now in my 'favorites' list.

Just made these and they are incredible. I would probably bake them at 350, mine were done in 20 minutes. i also added some milk to the glaze. If they taste better the next day, they i am in for a treat cause they were great now!! My recipe made 14 btw.

Laura, I would keep my blueberries frozen and shake in a ziploc with some flour..just like you do to keep choc chips from sinking..I am making these tomorrow..yum

Very good. We didn't have lemon so we substituted orange juice. Like others, lots of glaze and needed to add milk to be able to drizzle.

very good, I didn't have enough blueberries, so I added some strawberries. I also used half whole wheat flour and half white to make it a bit healthier.

Excellent recipe. I would cut the glaze recipe in half because it made way more than I needed. Muffins are even better the next day.

These were FANTASTIC! I didn't have time to make the glaze, but they were great even without. Will definitely make again.
