Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Making muffins makes me happy. It is so nice to see a plate full of them sitting on the counter for the kids to grab for breakfast, or a quick snack. They are so easy to make, budget friendly, and oh so delicious. I have recently been blessed with a ton of lemons, so I took a couple to make these Lemon Blueberry Muffins. They are so light and moist. I love the blueberries bursting throughout!
Just preheat the oven to 350 and mix up the batter. It is very quick and easy to do.
Then fill paper lined muffin tins 3/4 of the way full. Top with the crumb topping. This is my kids favorite part. They love the crunchy toppings on muffins. You can add this topping to any muffin recipe you have to make them extra yummy!
Bake away for about 25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
ENJOY!
