Who out there doesn’t love a good muffin? We love them, we make them a lot, and we try so many different recipes! Both the kids love anything with blueberries in it, but I’m currently super into lemons (I will WILL spring to stick around by using bright spring flavors if I have to) so we combined them and made blueberry lemon muffins!
This time the kids were eager to help. The big kids LOVES to zest lemons so she got right on that, and the little is all about the sifter, so she started with the dry ingredients. We made these on a beautiful day so in the interest of time (we wanted to get outside) while they were tackling their jobs I got started with the wet ingredients. Normally they do it all, normally they want me involved as little as possible, but this time they were happy for the help and we had a blast!
The kids were neat and tidy, I however dropped an egg and got eggshell into the mix while cracking them. I seriously need to get the kids on bored with doing the eggs, I’m sure they’d be better at it then me! Making a mess when we bake is not a big deal for us, we just roll with it, no matter who the mess maker is. I actually think it’s a great for the kids to see me making mistakes and dropping things. It shows them that adults can’t do it all right, which is a FACT around here!
Anyway, these muffins were so yummy! They’re light and full of flavor. The whole blueberries burst when you bite into them and there’s just enough lemon to hold it’s own without being overpowering. I froze half (this is a fairly sizable recipe, for us it made a full 2 dozen muffins) and the other half have been enjoyed for breakfasts, snacks, and lunches! Anytime is muffin time if you ask us.
Stay tuned because we’re about to get really busy in the kitchen! We’re not big Easter people but we’re taking advantage of the day and using it as an excuse to make some fun new desserts!
