Blueberry Lemon Muffins

About the bake

With a burst of zesty lemon, this recipe is a fresh take on the popular blueberry muffin recipe. Our Blueberry Lemon Muffins use a zingy combination of lemons and blueberries for a sweet and sour taste. The lemon icing really adds in that extra depth of flavour. Make sure your cupcakes are fully cooled before icing.

Method

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4).

  2. Step 2:

    Line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases.

  3. Step 3:

    Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs a little at a time until smooth, adding a little flour if the mixture curdles.

  4. Step 4:

    Stir in the flour, baking powder and lemon zest until smooth.

  5. Step 5:

    Place heaped dessert spoonfuls of the mixture into each cupcake case and poke about 4 blueberries in each one.

  6. Step 6:

    Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and just firm to the touch. Allow to cool completely.

  7. Step 7:

    Blend together the icing sugar, butter and lemon extract to make a soft buttercream.

  8. Step 8:

    Spread the mixture over the muffin and top with a few blueberries.

  9. Step 9:

    Your finished muffins will keep for approximately 3 days in a cake tin or they can be frozen.
