Lemon Blueberry Muffins

You may have noticed it – I LOVE muffins! They are just so versatile and delicious. Most of the time, lemon muffins recipes are more like a dessert. I wanted to create a nutritious version that could be eaten as a filling snack! It took me several tries, but I’m finally satisfied with the recipe!

Servings : 9 muffins

Cooking time : 25 minutes

For the crumble (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons quick oats
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup greek yogourt, plain
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon lemon zest (the zest of about 2 lemons – see notes)

Directions

For the crumble :

  1. In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients for the crumble with a fork. Set aside.

For the muffins :

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease 9 cups of a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oil and eggs until smooth. Add the yogurt, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Fill your muffin tins with the batter and, if desired, add the crumble.
  6. Bake for 25 to 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Note:

  • To make sure you add enough lemon zest to the recipe, I recommend pressing it well in the measuring spoon when you measure it.
