It’s summer & it’s berry season! I’ve been super duper craving muffins lately, and I still have an obscene amount of blueberries in the freezer from last summer, and knowing that we’re going to go again soon, I want to use them up. So lemon blueberry muffins it is (and they are nut free)! That means lots of blueberry smoothies, etc! Although I love blueberries (and lemons), my favorite berry is the blackberry (I have a great recipe for a blackberry smoothie here and a great recipe for blackberry watermelon popsicles here). What is your favorite berry?

This looks great . . . but it doesn’t make many muffins. Do you think it would work doubled?
Yes, Joslyne, you can definitely double the muffin recipe!! Enjoy!
I’m sorry, but I just made these and found them to be WAY too tart. I was hesitant when using the juice and zest of a whole lemon for only 5 muffins, I probably should’ve listened to my instincts. I even added the optional Tbs of coconut sugar and I couldn’t even taste the blueberries over the tart lemon flavor. Unfortunately, they are inedible and I will be throwing them out. Are you sure the recipe is written correctly?
Hi Amy, I have made these many times and I only get 5 or 6 muffins out of the recipe. I would suggest only using 1 tablespoon of lemon, if you don’t like them too tart!
Hi, I just made these as they looked so delicious. Unfortunately they weren’t. Not meant to offend, just wondering was there something mistyped in the recipe maybe?
Hi Nicole, Were they just not sweet enough? I’ve made them a bunch of times, but they aren’t a super sweet muffin. I’m not offended! Let me help you trouble shoot! Sorry I did not see this until now, your comment went into my spam!
