Day 3: Lemon Blueberry Muffins

December 4, 2011

I have always been a big believer of eating seasonal, fresh foods. If it is in season I buy fresh. If for some reason I am cooking/baking with foods that are not in season then I buy frozen or use fresh fruits and veggies that I have frozen myself. Because we all know a craving can hit any time of year!

Luckily most recipes can be adjusted to incorporate fresh ingredients when they are in season and frozen ingredients in the off months.

This muffin is a prime example of this! I actually made this muffin over the summer when blueberries were lush and a bounty and at killer prices. But I forgot to blog about it, opps! So I debated about including it in the 12 days of Christmas but since blueberries are one of those foods that freeze well and actually easily transition into recipes frozen, I decided to share it!

Lemon complements blueberries so well so the flavor in these muffins is spot on. What a better treat Christmas morning that a fresh, hot muffin right from the oven!
