Summer Bites: Blueberry-Lemon Muffins

I don't know about you but I am, frankly, still in denial about the end of Summer and resolved to hold on to whatever remnants of warmth may be available for as long as I can 😁🌞! As a fitting ode to the ever-beautiful and magically wondrous Summer season, I decided to indulge in some home baking to create these irresistibly delicious Blueberry-Lemon Muffins. I had not done any baking in quite a long time given the sweltering Summer heat, so these flavorful muffins were the perfect medium to both celebrate a wonderful season and introduce some much-needed dessert sweetness to our home menu. 

Blueberry and lemon are such a classic pairing - the acidic notes from the lemon beautifully complement the sweet elements in the blueberry, thus resulting in a balanced yet tasty flavor when combined. I love to include fruit in my desserts and since we had an excess amount of blueberries that would otherwise go bad if not used up, the idea to incorporate them in a baking recipe came naturally to me. These muffins are not too sweet - I am decidedly not a fan of overly sweet things and therefore used less sugar in order to temper the overall sweetness. I will be posting the full recipe for these muffins on our Recipe Index, so check it out to find the roadmap for creating these simple yet undeniably delicious treats. Enjoy and thank you Summer! 😍💖🎂
