Lemon Glazed Blueberry Muffins

May 16, 2011 /

Good dreary Monday morning to you all! New England has a forecast of about 6 straight days of rain…I mean I know it is Spring and Mother Nature tends to like rain around this time of year, but 6 straight days of rain is just plain brutal.

The only good part about it being so wet, cold, and rainy outside is that I get to stay inside any make lots of goodies. I know most people really hate rainy days and while I am not a huge fan; I can at least appreciate the down time to do things inside the house, like cook/bake!

These muffins I made this weekend were my cry for Spring flavors. I have said this before and I will say it again. Nothing says Spring to me more than Lemon. It is bright and refreshing and all around just a great flavor especially when you pair it with other things like I did with these muffins!

Ingredients for Muffins:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1-1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Cooking Spray
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 450º.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, level with a knife. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender, or 2 knives, until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Combine buttermilk, egg, and rind; stir well with a whisk. Add to flour mixture, stir until just moist. Gently fold in the blueberries.


Spoon batter in a 12-muffin cup pan that has 12 muffins cups that have been coated with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins spring back with lightly touched. Remove from pans immediately to cool on a while rack.

Combine lemon juice and powdered sugar in a small bowl with a whisk. Drizzle glaze evenly over cooled muffins.
