Lemon Blueberry Glazed Muffins
Summer time is almost here and that means all the good, fresh fruits and vegetables are just around the corner. I'm pretty sure I have a favourite muffin recipe to go with every kind of seasonal fruit I can get my hands on. Today we are enjoying fresh blueberries! Got them at the grocery store but they are local and fresh and so good! My kids love muffins for breakfast so when I have blueberries I make this one. I have made it with frozen blueberries too and it tastes just as wonderful.
The lemon glaze is optional of course but it adds a delicious sticky sweetness that really gives these muffins the wow factor. Also the lemon and blueberry combo is so perfect together. Bring on Summer!
