These Lemon Blueberry Muffins are the perfect snack for summertime. These babies are not only super tasty but they’re also made with the healthiest ingredients, too! They are incredibly moist with a lovely combination of lemon meets blueberry, one of my favorite flavor combinations, don’t you agree?
They’re also gluten- free, dairy-free, refined-sugar-free with a vegan option available! These muffins are naturally sweetened and not overly sweet at that, which is another reason I love them so much. These babies are also free of your typical muffin/inflammatory ingredients such as white flour, white sugar, dairy milk, vegetable oil etc… so go on and indulge without feeling any unnecessary guilt.
These muffins are great to have for breakfast along side your eggs, yogurt or fresh fruit or to simply enjoy as an afternoon treat. There truly is no wrong way to enjoy them!
