    If you're looking for an easy blueberry muffin recipe, you're going to love this one! This recipe for lemon blueberry muffins makes light, fluffy muffins that aren't heavy at all.

    They're a little tart, a little sweet, and simply delicious. Everyone loves them!

    My kids love having muffins for breakfast, and we usually bake a batch or two on the weekends. We usually serve them with eggs and either air fryer sausage or bacon and save the leftover muffins for the rest of the week.

    It's a huge timesaver during school days and a nice treat during the summer -- whenever the kids happen to wake up!

    How to Make Lemon Blueberry Muffins with Lemon Glaze

    We've been making these blueberry muffins for years. You can see the step by step process in the video, but it's very simple. You can also use the same basic recipe to make cranberry lemon muffins.

    Just mix your dry ingredients in one bowl. Then, mix your wet ingredients in a larger bowl, and pour the dry ingredients into the wet mix.

    Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to blend the batter so that it's nice and smooth. Then, fold in some ripe, juicy blueberries!

    I highly recommend parchment or paper muffin tin liners. The blueberry juice bubbles out of the muffins, and things get messy!

    These quick and easy muffins take just about 15 minutes to bake -- 18 minutes tops. I also top the muffins with a little bit of lemon glaze and zest for an extra burst of flavor. This step is optional, but it really enhances the flavor.

    You can really taste the lemon, but it's not overly powerful. And, it makes the tops nice and glossy, which makes you want to dig right in!

    Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

    I love fresh blueberries, but you can make these muffins with frozen blueberries if you want.

      Delicious. I made them sweeter, with one cup of sugar, and increased lemon juice and zest a little because I made a clear glaze.5 stars

      I am not one to write reviews but oh my this recipie is absolutely perfect. I had to use frozen blueberries unfortunately it was all I had so I had to add time to the bake. The end result was a super light moist and just perfectly sweet muffin. Which I might add is not always easy to find. Thank you so much for sharing. We love these muffins!!!!5 stars

      I just made these and my family loved them! Thank you for sharing, I can't wait until I get a chance to try them although I know it won't be long until I do! I'm definitely keeping this recipe, not to mention they are the most beautiful muffins that I have ever seen! I was especially excited because this was my first time ever making any kind of muffins! My oldest daughters favorite food is muffins so she was extremely happy! The only thing that I changed was I used almond/coconut milk (it's a blend of both), and I used smart butter due to my son's allergy to dairy. I used the smart balance butter instead because I was worried that the coconut flavor would overwhelm the recipe with the milk I used since that had coconut milk in it to. I also added more lemon juice and 1 Tsp of vanilla extract just for a little more sweetness. Again, thank you!5 stars

        I haven't tried it, but any oil should work. 🙂

        Hi Terry! You can sub any oil or butter for the coconut oil -- I do this sometimes, and they're just as good. Glad you liked them! 🙂
