Blueberry and Lemon Chip Muffins- Pillow soft muffins loaded with fresh blueberries and lemon baking chips!
A few weeks ago, we took a trip to the King Arthur Baking Company. It’s always been one of favorite go-to sites for baking recipes and tips. With use now living in Vermont, I was actually able to go to their Norwich facility and fell in love with it!
You can shop, eat, watch the bakers, take a class or simply enjoy their gorgeous scenery. On our trip, I made a few purchases and one was lemon baking chips. A total impulse buy, but, so, worth it. They are really fabulous and lemony.
Wit those lemon baking bits, I made some blueberries muffins and they turned out great. The two flavors go perfect together!
Ingredients Needed:
- Flour + Salt+ Baking Soda
- Butter
- Sugar
- Lemon Baking Chips
- Blueberries
- Plain Greek yogurt
Plain Greek Yogurt: None on hand? Sour cream can be used as a replacement.
Lemon Baking Chips: You can purchase them right online at King Arthur Baking or a similar product on Amazon.
Blueberries: Fresh or frozen will both work. However, if you use frozen, I do recommend not defrosting them before adding to the batter.
A few recipe notes:
- Yes, I sound like a broken record, but, do not over mix your muffin dough. You simply don’t want any dry spots left in your dough. It doesn’t have to be smooth, a few lumps are OK. The more you mix it, the more dense your muffins could be.
- This recipe makes just 6 muffins, not the standard 12. However, you can easily double the ingredients to make a whole dozen.
- Don’t forget to coat your blueberries in flour before adding to the batter. This will help prevent them from sinking.
- Freezing? These muffins can be frozen for future eating. Place them in a freezer safe container with a lid or bag for storage. When you are ready, defrost before serving.
