This wonderful recipe was given to me by a dear Amish lady who served us at breakfast while visiting. I have in turn served to our guests and family and have passed this recipe on to many. Everyone has remarked how “lite” the muffins are and the slight lemon taste just enhances the flavor of the blueberry. These also fit nicely in lunch totes as well as a afternoon snack. A real easy recipe for “little hands” to assist in baking.
