Tips for the Best Lemon Blueberry Muffins
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, toss them in a bit of flour first to prevent sinking.
- Don’t overmix! This helps keep your muffins soft and tender.
- Make it fully dairy-free. Swap the Greek yogurt and cream cheese for your favorite non-dairy alternatives.
