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 Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
