Best Lemon, Berry Muffins Ever! (Updated)
One of my favorite things to bake with the girls is lemon, Bberry muffins. And these muffins are perfect to make ahead for those grab-and-go breakfasts before heading to school or starting our day.
Back to School
With the back-to-school season right now this recipe will be a great addition to your mornings. The girls and I are notoriously running late in the mornings on the way to school. And breakfast is usually our biggest struggle. My girls like to take their time and eat slow. So sometimes, the best option is an on-the-go breakfast. With these muffins, it’s a great grab-n-go breakfast for that drive into town.
Dairy and Fruit
One of the best things about these muffins is they are loaded with fruit and dairy products. I love that with one muffin you are getting a ton of fruit and protein. The best part is they taste amazing!
For the berries, I usually use raspberries and blueberries. These give the muffins the best taste and texture. Butterly, but not falling apart too easily. If blueberries or raspberries aren’t your family’s favorites, try strawberries instead.
Tips for Muffins
I always triple this recipe and freeze the extra. They freeze so well and make a great make-ahead breakfast. I usually freeze about 8 muffins in each ziplock bag. Then at the beginning of the week, I defrost a bag for us to enjoy throughout the week. I hope you love these muffins as much as we do!
