Lemon & Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry muffins are something we always see on our trips to America and something I love to eat! I love the combination of lemon and blueberry and something I wanted to add to my catalogue of recipes.

It is very easy to make these muffins and it’s all made in a bowl so no need to get the stand mixer out for this recipe!

You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in this recipe.

The sour cream thickens the mixture so the fruit doesn’t sink to the bottom and makes a lovely light muffin.
