Sweet and tangy Blueberry Lime Muffins are the perfect way to start your day, make a batch and enjoy them all week!
Hi my name is Emily and I am a muffin-aholic. I love muffins, really I do! Even though I tend not to be the biggest fan of cake, I adore their close cousin the muffin. I don’t know what it is exactly that I find so irresistible about them, but I go through phases of eating them everyday for a week and then a month or two without.
These Blueberry Lime Muffins are no exception. Years ago before we had kids and I became a stay at home mom I started this here blog. Back then I worked in a nice office as a graphic designer and I used to bake and share with my co-workers. They loved it and it kept me from the temptation of eating a whole batch of anything all by myself. I first made these little lovelies to share with them and they were a wild success!
Fast forward a few years and these days I use my family and friends to help taste test and consume all the extra food around here. Whether you make these ahead to enjoy all week or to share with your loved ones, these lightly sweet muffins are bursting with fresh blueberries and a tart lime glaze. I just know you’re going to love them too and you might even have a hard time eating just one; enjoy and happy baking!
