Recipe Notes
Blueberry Lemon Almond Muffins
September 24, 2018
  • This recipe was adapted/inspired from the Cherry Almond Muffin recipe found here. I had originally planned to just replace the cherries with blueberries, but ended up tweaking the recipe quite a bit. The muffins were very good.
  • Save some blueberries to add to the batter for the last muffins. My experience has always been the last bit of batter always seems short on blueberries, so I always have some extras to add when filling the last few muffin cups.
