Lemon Blueberry Muffins

I tend to make the same kind of muffins and wanted to make a little something different. I really like a lemon cake and I like blueberry muffins so I decided that I could combine the two. Muffins are really easy to make and make for a quick something to grab on the way out the door in the morning.

 

These Lemon Blueberry Muffins are chalked full of blueberries that you get a mouth full in every bite!

To Die For Blueberry Muffins!

While trying to save a little money and make something different to eat for breakfast I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com for "To Die For Blueberry Muffins." They really are to die for! I have used this recipe for many other muffins and they all turn out great! The topping is awesome. Make sure to not load the muffing with the topping. It will cause the muffing to cave. I usually have a little of the topping left over. The left overs taste good on toast. A close second in flavor is cranberry orange! I did make chocolate chocolate chip muffins with this recipe and found that I need to not cook them as long. I only cooked them for about 18 minutes. Here is the original recipe. Enjoy!
