Lemon Blueberry Muffins – Gluten Free!
I LOVE to do a lot of cooking with Essential Oils and this recipe has been a great one. I use this recipe to make ahead and freeze to bring to work for an easy and healthy breakfast!
These Lemon Blueberry Muffins are a staple in our house, especially during the spring and summer months when I can find juicy, plump blueberries from my Mom and Dad’s Blueberry Farm.
Not only do we get the, what I feel are the BEST blueberries around (not being impartial at all LOL!), we get to make such wonderful memories with family. We literally go on a blueberry picking mission (grand kids included)!
When blueberries are out of season and cost an arm and a leg, I use frozen blueberries. They work well, but fresh is always best, right? 🙂
