Lemon Blueberry Muffins with Lemon Glaze

LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH LEMON GLAZE — These blueberry and lemon muffins are made extra special with a sweet and tangy lemon glaze.

Blueberry and lemon is one of my favorite flavor combinations. So it’s no surprise that I found these Lemon Blueberry Muffins with Lemon Glaze irresistible.

These muffins are bursting with fresh blueberries and tangy lemon flavor. Which makes them perfect for breakfast, brunch or after school snacking. And the lemon glaze makes them extra special.

I definitely ate my fair share. Okay, maybe a few more than my fair share.

My family loved these muffins too. I dare say they disappeared more quickly than any muffin I’ve made in recent memory. They would be perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch or summer baby shower.

You can use frozen blueberries in this recipe. Just don’t thaw them first or your batter will be too wet, and probably turn a nice shade of purple.

If  you’ve got some blueberries that are a little to ripe to eat, this is the perfect way to use them!

I love the flavor of almond extract in the glaze, but vanilla will work too if that’s what you prefer. These were such a hit, I’m already thinking about making them with different berries.

I think a raspberry or mixed berry version would be fabulous! Whatever kind of berry you use, make these muffins as soon as possible. You’re family and friends will thank you!
