snacks:

lemon, blueberry and white chocolate muffins

Published 23rd August 2019

It’s been a while since I have shared a muffin recipe and I seem to be baking a new batch a few times a fortnight, so I thought I’d come up with something new.

Lemon and Blueberry are always a great flavour combination, and the addition of any form of chocolate to a muffin makes most people happy. These Lemon, Blueberry and White Chocolate Muffins are a light, fresh and flavoursome muffin. All of the kids have enjoyed the 2 batches of these that I have made, even when I forgot the milk in one of the batches… oops!

These are a simple one bowl muffin and freeze really well. They are also great for the kid’s lunchboxes, now that the restrictions are starting to lift and schools have returned… for us in Australia, at least.

Enjoy xx.
