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!

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
