Blueberry Lemon Muffins

February 26, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Hi Everyone,

It’s Sunday already, geez time goes fast!  A little to fast if you ask me.  As a kid you want time to fly so you can be an adult, then when you’re an adult you just want time to slow down a little so you can accomplish the things you want to.  Well today I accomplished one thing I wanted to and I am very happy, more happy after I tasted it and figured out the calories!

So this weekend I decided to make Blueberry Lemon Muffins.  A take off my Blueberry lemon pancakes.  I loved the combination of blueberry and lemon that I just had to make a muffin with those flavors.

I am so happy with these muffins, there are full of blueberries, and I mean full!  These muffins are low in sugar, low in fat and not to bad on carbs for a muffin.  Now if you want a sweeter muffin, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more sugar to the recipe.  For me I’m trying to cut back a little on my sugar intake.  I love muffins, but not muffin top over my jeans!  So if you have a sweet tooth by all means add more sugar!  The calorie count won’t go up that much.  Oh and you’re wondering about calories?


Get this, 85 calories a muffin.  Yah!  No friggen way!  I had to calculate this twice to see if this is correct.  I can’t even believe it!  talk about guilt free, dam, I’m good, but I never dreamt of being that good!!  I now love these muffins even more.  I could eat two and not worry about it!  Love that, love that, love that!!!  So yes, I ate two!!  And after looking at my photo’s I’m thinking I want 3.

This batch got me 18 muffins.  I’m going to freeze half the batch so my Husband and I can take them for breakfast during the work week.  I think he will be pleased with them.  Have you ever froze a muffin?  I place them on a plate in a freezer, then when they freeze I place them in a ziplock bag.  I leave them on the counter to defrost, and they taste as good as new.  New?  That sounds weird, they taste fresh!  That’s better!

Sometimes I like to pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds or so, so I can add some butter on them.  Nothing like butter melting over a warm muffin.

I remember as a kid my Mom used to always make Blueberry Muffins from the box.  I used to love the little can of blueberries.   Oh and don’t tell my Mom, but I used to stick my finger in the batter.  Yum!!  I remember when they came out with the streusel top for the muffins, oh man, pure heaven!  Gosh I haven’t had boxed Blueberry Mix in mega years!  But between you and me, I prefer homemade.

My Husband laughs at me, he always asks when I’m taking photo’s of my food, could you get any closer to the food?  I’m like no, everyone needs to see every nook and cranny!  He just shakes his head.  Funny how we try to make things look perfect, just so we can take a picture of it.  I never thought in a million years I would take pictures of food.  But then again, I have always been food obsessed.  Ask me an event in my life, and I may not remember the event so well,  but I always remember what I ate.

Blueberry Lemon Muffins

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup sugar (add more if you want it sweeter)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

Zest from 1 lemon

2 tablespoons butter, melted (I used Brumble & Brown)

2 tablespoon unsweetened apple sauce

2 eggs (I used egg substitute)

6 ounces lemon greek yogurt (I used Chobani Greek Lemon Yogurt)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup non-fat milk

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

cooking spray

1 Tbsp. Turbinado Sugar for the top

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Line two muffin pans (18 muffins) with paper liners and lightly spray with cooking spray.

Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lemon zest in a medium bowl, set a side.

In a separate bowl combine the melted butter, apple sauce, eggs, yogurt, milk and vanilla extract. Add to the flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Spoon the batter into 18 muffin tins. Sprinkle Turbinado sugar over the tops of the muffins.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, until light golden and toothpick come out clean.

NOTES:  These are not very sweet muffins, add up to 1/2 cup more sugar for a sweeter muffin.

Do not over mix the muffins or they’ll become to dense.  There will be lumps in the batter.

Makes 18 muffins

Calories per muffin:  85,  fat:  .07,  Cholesterol:  .01,  Sodium:  90,  Potassium:  56,  Carbs:  16,  Fiber:  1.3,  Sugar:   5.1,  Protein:  3.3

The batter for these muffins is thick.  I used an ice cream scoop and then flattened them out with my finger.  I filled the muffin cups almost all the way to the top.  I also used organic frozen blueberries from Trader Joe’s.  These were the fattest blueberries ever!  Makes for great muffins!!

I hope you enjoyed today’s muffins, I’m really glad I made them!  They are easy, tasty and healthy!  All the things I love!!  Have a lovely rest of the weekend!

    Are these full sized or the mini muffins? My muffin pans are 6 or 12 large or 24 mini. Haven’t ever seen a 9 serving muffin pan.

      These are full size normal muffins. I used a 12 muffin pan, and I used another muffin pan for the remaining batter.

    Great muffin! Even my teenage son liked them ( he just grabbed extras on his way through the kitchen) and he isn’t a big fan of “healthy” baked goods. Thanks for the lemon-blueberry goodness!

☕️hello, hello! I’m sharing with you my Chin ☕️hello, hello! I’m sharing with you my China that my Mom gave me. As a child I always loved this set. My Mom got these by saving the stamps you would get from the grocery store with purchase. Each piece of China had a stamp value. So once you collected enough stamps you could pick up another piece of the collection. Needless to say, my Mom collected a lot of stamps and I have the whole set to serve 12 people.☕️

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.

What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.

It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?

Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is E Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is Easter, so you know what that means? I need to get in as many bunny pictures as I possibly can.
🐰
Who am I kidding? You’ll probably get a lot more bunnies in the coming weeks. In all actuality, I keep most of my bunny decor up all year, unless it screams Easter.
🐰
This weekend was a busy one for me. The first real warm weekend we’ve had all year, so I spent a lot of time working the garden. I’m actually kind of sore, which is a good thing. Nothing like the sun shining, warm air and playing in the dirt. My favorite thing.
🐰
What do you look most forward to when the weather warms up?
