Lemon Blueberry Muffins (Made In 30 Minutes!!)

These tender Lemon Blueberry Muffins can be on your table in 30 minutes! These quick blueberry muffins are loaded with fruit so they taste fresh, fabulous and are perfect for breakfast or brunch. 

Lemon Blueberry Muffins are the perfect spring and summer comfort food. I make these for friends when they are sick or bring them over in a pretty basket as a housewarming gift. They are light, sweet and perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

Fresh blueberries are plentiful in NJ during the summer so I get local berries when I can and put them in all kinds of recipes like these quick blueberry muffins. Summer is busy and I don't want to spend all day in the kitchen so getting delicious fruit muffins made in about 30 minutes is perfect.

Paired with lemon, these muffins are the perfect baked summer treat. Don't be afraid to fill up the muffin tins. These fruit muffins have nice tops like the ones you see in bakeries. They are crunchy on the outside but soft and moist on the inside. 

I like to give these quick blueberry muffins a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving but they are pretty enough to just serve as it.

Tips for making making Lemon Blueberry Muffins.

• Do not over mix the batter. This will cause the muffins to be tough. They should be mixed enough so everything is blended but you still might have a few lumps in the batter. 
• Bigger is better when it comes to muffins! I like to fill them ⅔ full so they have nice muffin tops. We don't want the batter to spill over but we do want a nice high crunchy top. 
• Fresh berries work best. You can use frozen but make sure to drain the extra liquid. 
• To test for doneness, use a toothpick and insert into the middle of the muffin. These muffins are done when the toothpick comes out clean.
• Make sure not to over bake because no one wants dry muffins. 

Pair Lemon Blueberry Muffins with other fruit muffins and a fruit salad for a tasty brunch buffet.
