I created this recipe after noticing we had some blueberries in the fridge that needed eating. We buy fresh berries every week but sometimes we can’t get through them all by the ‘best before’ dates so I decided to throw the last few that needed eating in these lemon and blueberry muffins and they were so delicious!
When creating this recipe, I knew I wanted to make it small batch because so many of you commented on my instagram stories saying you want small batch baking recipes, and I get it, you don’t want a full batch of baking in the house that’s only going to last three days because we all know, we don’t stop at one! So this recipe is perfect it makes 6 perfectly fluffy muffins.
