Lemon Blueberry Muffins—aka heaven on earth

Honest time… I think these are the best muffins I’ve ever made. Period. I’m pretty much a culinary genius…;) 

Anywho, these lemon blueberry muffins have the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and are so so moist you’ll thank me. Plus, this recipe is a short and sweet one. Blueberry and lemon, I think they are now my favorite food combo. Alright, I think I was convincing enough for you to keep reading…

How to Make These Fabulous Lemon Blueberry Muffins:

Alrighty, start by adding your flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and Lemon Jell-o mix. The jello mix is going to make them very moist, not to mention add that lemon flavor. Preheat oven to 450°F

Next, add the vegetable oil, milk, eggs and vanilla extract. Totally optional, you can add the juice of half a lemon here. Mix well, but do NOT over mix. Lil bit of a contradiction, but especially important for muffins, you want some air in the batter or it won’t rise as much. So it’s ok if there are so lumps still! The batter should look like this ↓

Now, add the blueberries. This recipe has A LOT of blueberries, I personally love my blueberry muffins to be loaded with blueberries, but if you don’t just add less :). Your batter should look like this with the blueberries ↓

Fill cupcake tray with liners and then using a 1/3 or 1/4 measuring cup, fill liners with batter. I like to sprinkle some sugar on top to give them that extra golden brown look. Cook at 450° for 10 minutes, then lower to 375° and bake for 8 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. The reason you bake the muffins at a high temp first and to let them rise quickly and then lower the temp to let them finish cooking. 

Let those babies cool and then your done! Told you it was short and sweet!
