Glazed Lemon-Blueberry Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

MUFFINS:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 dash salt
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
..........................................
GLAZE:
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the milk, lemon juice and peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in blueberries.

Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in muffin comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, butter and vanilla; drizzle over warm muffins. Yield: 11 muffins.

Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

REVIEWS:

The temp was way too high. The muffins ended up burnt and hard. At 350 for 20 minutes, they may have been good.

Oh so good. I tried them before putting on the glaze. Some muffins may improve with a glaze, but these are perfect without!

These were so good and I typicallly do not care for lemon in things. I used fresh blueberries and will try to do that if I can. I was really pleased and will make these again. My boys loved them!

These muffins are delicious! Not too sweet and the perfect texture. Also, very easy to make. The only thing I would do different is add a bit more lemon juice to the glaze and only do 1 cup powdered sugar. The glaze was too thick to drizzle, but that's a quick fix. Love these muffins!

Excellent recipe! I used orange in place of the lemon because I had them on hand. These were delicious. So glad I doubled it.

Excellent muffins. So homemade flavor. Better than any bakery muffins.

I've made these muffins several times and they are not only easy, but very delicious. Family and co-workers devour them! I usually don't bother with the glaze - to me it's just adding extra calories that are needed to improve on the flavour. The recipe is now in my 'favorites' list.

These are great.. have made a few times now. The lemon zest it a must... don't omit.

Just made these and they are incredible. I would probably bake them at 350, mine were done in 20 minutes. I also added some milk to the glaze. If they taste better the next day, they i am in for a treat cause they were great now!! My recipe made 14 muffins.

Very good. We didn't have lemon so we substituted orange juice. Like others, lots of glaze and needed to add milk to be able to drizzle.

Very good, I didn't have enough blueberries, so I added some strawberries. I also used half whole wheat flour and half white to make it a bit healthier.

Excellent recipe. I would cut the glaze recipe in half because it made way more than I needed. Muffins are even better the next day.

These were FANTASTIC! I didn't have time to make the glaze, but they were great even without. Will definitely make again.

this was so good. my family and my girlfriends AND their kids gobbled it up at brunch. so yummy!

This recipe was pretty good, I used a mini loaf pan and the texture and taste reminded me of coffee cake. I think it tasted much better the next day, instead of right out of the oven. I used one cup of powdered sugar and added a little milk for the glaze to make it more smooth.

Yummy. We had these for breakfast. How would you keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom?

These are lovely--full of flavor! Like several others, I had a total of 16 muffins. Perhaps that was because the fresh blueberries available in this area are the size of marbles. I did thin the glaze with a tablespoon or so of milk, and added 1 tbsp. melted butter instead of the tsp. called for. My adult daughter said the muffins were delicious, and she is selective about food. I recommend this recipe, and I know I will make it again and again!

Delicious! I have baked two batches in less than a week and my family loves the flavor and texture of these muffins. I used all organic ingredients and substituted 3/4 cup of raw honey for the sugar and 1 tsp. lemon peel. As we avoid sugar, I have not topped these with the glaze. The muffins are delicious none-the-less. I am perplexed as to the 11 servings and also as to the varied servings reports by others. I simply used a 12-cup muffin pan and evenly distributed the batter among the 12 cups. I filled them almost to the top, and they turned out perfectly each time. I highly recommend this recipe and will be baking these on a regular basis.

Maybe the recipe should read 1 cup confectioner's sugar?!? I had a lot of the glaze left over.

I have made these muffins many times for my co-workers who absolutely love them. They are quick and easy to make, but I get more out of the recipe than it states. I usually get about 16-18 muffins. I'm filling the cups over 2/3 full. Regardless, it's a keeper for sure!

Very good! I also got more than 11 muffins though! Added milk to glaze to make it thinner.

Everywhere I have taken these muffins, I have been asked for the reciper. I also got more than 11 muffins (24 muffins for me). As others did, I added a little liquid to the glaze so that it would drizzle better. Overall, this is a wonderful recipe!

Easy recipe to make and very tasty!

I loved the taste of these muffins, but I am at high altitude (Colorado) and they fell, so I may have to make some adjustments. Also, I got 21 muffins out of the batter instead of the 11 listed. I also agree with the reviewer who said the glaze was too thick. It was almost a paste consistency for me. Next time I will add far lass of the powdered sugar.

SO moist and yummy!!

These were very good. I did add some milk to the glaze as it was too thick.

I made these yesterday with a few changes. I used egg beaters and 1 % milk to lighten it up just a tad. gave them to friend and they loved them also.

I LOVE THESE MUFFINS!!! They are delish!
