The subtle lemon scent and flavor of Meyer lemons and the sweetness of blueberries elevate these muffins to a whole new level.

I saw these lovely Meyer Lemons at the store the other day and bought them to make some lemon curd. I saw a recipe on Pinterest for Meyer Lemon Curd and was very intrigued.

I love lemon curd, but sometimes it can get a little too tangy for me and to balance out the tanginess there will have to be more sugar added. The good thing about Meyer Lemon is that, it has a little sweet element to it than regular lemons and I can only imagine how that would make for a wonderful lemon curd.

So, I bought them for the lemon curd, but ended up making these Meyer Lemon Blueberry Muffins instead. I love the lemon blueberry combination and was craving for something baked and I decided to make this.

Love the blueberry-lemon combo just like me? Here are some recipes with that winning combination.

These muffins have a very subtle scent of lemon and the little bites of blueberry inside makes it such a good treat! I made a batch of these and they kinda served as breakfast and snack for the next couple of days.

I always love it when there is something readily available when you need something good, something different, yet something substantial for a quick snack, especially for V when he comes back home from daycare. A muffin or two and a glass of milk – he is all set till it is dinner time. Mommy is happy too because this is homemade and I know exactly what all I have put in it! A total win-win!

    The instructions say to combine the flour, salt & baking powder. When does this get added to the mixture? After the eggs?

    When making a recipe with liquid, it is very helpful to have a measure. Meyer lemons drastically vary in size. I can get as much as 1 1/4 c to just 1/4 c. Please update with an amount. Thanks would be so helpful

      I appreciate you pointing that out. I have added the tablespoon measurement for it. I went with the assumption that a regular sized Meyer lemon yields 2-3 tbsp of juice. But I understand that such an assumption could be ambiguous, especially when not stated. I apologize. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to correct myself.
