An all-time classic, these Lemon Blueberry Muffins are jumbo-sized!

While I was looking at all the muffin recipes I have posted over the last 5 years there was one missing. Where was the all-time classic, a blueberry muffin? I have a few healthy versions like Morning Glory Muffins or Banana Oat Muffins, traditional ones like Classic Raisin Bran, Banana Bran or Savoury Corn Muffins, but where are the simple blueberry muffins?

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I find most recipes for blueberry muffins result in a really small muffin. I like mine more bakery-style. Are you with me? Not to worry I’ve got you covered with these Whopper Lemon Blueberry Muffins. They are extra-big so they last all the way through your jumbo mug of coffee or tea.


Whooper-Lemon-Blueberry-Muffins_2 I don’t have 2 jumbo muffins tins, so I just line my regular tin with parchment cups. That keeps the extra batter in and produces a perfect whopper muffin.

Whooper-Lemon-Blueberry-Muffins_6 There’s a reason the combination of lemon with blueberry never gets old… it’s amazing! The lemon adds a big burst of freshness. In my area the local blueberries are just coming into the market, so I encourage you to use that while you can. If that’s impossible, you can also make these with frozen wild blueberries.

      I made these and they were wonderful, however they seemed quite dense. Are they suppose to be that way?

        Hi Sherri, I don’t think ‘dense’ is a good word. These muffins are moist like a pound cake.

      I loved that these muffins were more like a muffin and not a cup cake texture – The only thing I would do different is add more lemon zest – Not enough lemon taste.

      I see that this recipe has been up a while. Absolutely loved the muffins however I think that the quantity of butter at 1/4 cup might be an error as trying to cream to light and fluffy 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of butter just doesn’t work. I increased it to 1/2 cup which worked perfectly. I agree with the comment about the lemon and although I used a huge lemon the muffins could still have used more. Next time I think I will use lemon essence instead of the vanilla. Definitely one of my new go to blueberry muffin recipes though.
