My Best Blueberry Lime Muffins Recipe
Do you have a recipe like this? One that you make again and again? One that you substitute in what you have or what is in season? This recipe is my go-to. These muffins come out moist, flavorful and are also great frozen and reheated. Simply wrap each one in plastic, then place in a large plastic zip top bag with the others. A real grab and go treat!
I use lime zest most of the time in this Best Blueberry Lime Muffins recipe, but it is also tasty using the zest of a lemon- even of an orange! Use what you have is my motto. I think lime really brings out the flavor of the blueberries. We had fun picking fresh blueberries on our way home from Michigan last week at Degrandchamp Farms.
I top my Best Blueberry Lime Muffins with coarse sugar, AKA sugar in the raw, before they go in the oven. I use 2 small packets for this recipe. If you don’t have any or can’t find it, look at your local Starbucks. They always have it. Grab a few. I am just kidding. Please don’t send me hate mail because I suggested you snag a packet of sugar from your local coffee shop. ????
This is an adapted recipe from AllRecipes.com and frankly, it isn’t unlike many recipes I have seen floating around online. It appears many of us peruse All Recipes from time to time. Make it your own and feel free to make substitutions to make it lighter, like subbing apple sauce for the vegetable oil.
Today, I am sharing the version of blueberry lime muffins that I make the most often.
I used a muffin pan today, but I have also made this blueberry lime muffins recipe in a bread pan.
If you make a loaf, keep an eye out while baking. I give it about 40 minutes baking time when I make loaves.
