Christina's Notes
- Doubled Recipe: Muffins are great to bring to a picnic. Increase the ingredients proportionately and split into two pans before baking.
- Nuts: Add some crunch to these soft and moist muffins by including walnuts, almonds or pecans before you bake muffins.
- More Berries: Add in more fresh blueberries, raspberries or strawberries! You can also try adding blueberries to banana muffins.
- Bakery Style Muffins: For jumbo muffins, fill to the top of the pan.
- Serve: Top blueberry muffins with cream, more berries, Easy Cinnamon Honey Butter or Homemade Butter.
- Gluten Free: Make these muffins gluten free by swapping the flour for your favorite gluten free flour.
- Sour Cream: If you can't get past the idea of sour cream in muffins, plain greek yogurt is a great substitute!
- Topping: Add a scrumptious crumble topping on top of your homemade bakery muffins! In addition to the crumb topping, you could try sugar and lemon zest.
- Dairy Free: To make dairy free lemon blueberry muffins, use margarine instead of butter, plant based sour cream and your favorite dairy free milk.
