My family loves these lemon blueberry muffins so much! The trick to the best lemon flavor is making our simple lemon sugar! When baking this recipe, you can make 10 standard-size muffins or fill the cups a bit more and make 8 larger muffins with big, beautiful bakery-style tops. (I’ve also included tips for mini muffins in the recipe below!). When measuring the flour for these muffins, either weigh it or use the “spoon and level” method shared in our tips section below.
