Blueberry and Lemon Chip Cupcakes- Big Green House

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.
