Blueberry Lemon Muffin Tops

07/25/2014 by Judy 10 Comments

Blueberry Lemon Muffin Tops with Lemon GlazeI’m not much of a baker (which is probably a very good thing for my waistline since I love sweets).  Proof of that fact is it took me three tries to get a blueberry lemon treat I really liked.  These Blueberry Lemon Muffin Tops encompass all the best aspects of my first two failures into one successful baking day in the kitchen.

My first failure was a blueberry lemon sour cream coffee cake with a crumb topping.  Actually, it was really delicious, but I didn’t put in enough blueberries and I found myself picking off the topping and throwing the rest out.  Maybe I’ll play around with that recipe and share it later.  In the meantime, I had the brilliant idea of making the recipe again, but baking it as muffin tops.  After all, that’s the best part of a muffin, right?  Well, failure number two…it didn’t turn out so well.  The first batch I completely forgot to put the crumb topping on…and that was the whole point of making them!  To top it off, I didn’t remember how I made the crumb topping and this time around it all sort of just melted into the tops and were a bit mushy. I’m guessing there was too much butter.

Blueberry Lemon Muffin topsBut I will not be defeated.  I absolutely love the blueberry lemon combination and I was determined to get something baked with that flavor combination!  So I went back to a basic muffin recipe, the one that turned so out well for my Double Berry Muffins with Raspberry Glaze, and just adapted it for blueberries and lemon.  I used my muffin top pan (if you love muffin tops, this pan is a must have) since what I really wanted was the muffin top and not the bottom boring half of the muffin.  I almost forgot to sprinkle on the crumb topping again, can you believe it?  Senior moments!  But in the end they turned out really tasty and I was very happy.  And my friends and neighbors were very happy too!  They loved them as much as I did.

Do you have many baking failures in the kitchen or am I the only one?  If I can have success with these Blueberry Lemon Muffin Tops so can you!

    Oh jeez, I feel like half the things I talk about on my blog are all of my baking disasters. Haha. You’re totally not alone though. One of my worst mess ups was the time I tried to make meringues and thought I was too cool to add the recommended 1/4th tsp of cinnamon and instead decided that a full teaspoon was the way to go (it’s totally my fault that I’m a cinnamon addict). Anyway, long story short, the cinnamon was so strong that it was practically medicinal and one bite made me gag. Later that same day I also managed to horribly burn a batch of honey roasted almonds. Point being, it happens to everyone. I’m glad you stuck with it and finally made something that you liked! I love the combination of lemon and blueberries so I’ll have to try these out :).

      Nice to know there are others out there! I think the problem with baking is you have to be pretty precise…not just wing it with measurements like regular cooking! Thanks for sharing your story 🙂

    Loved this recipe. Easy to follow instructions. I thought separating ingredients in the 4 bowls was brilliant for me. It gave me a chance to clean up as I went along. My kitchen didn’t look like a tornado had hit. The muffins are delicious!

    Can you substitute lemon juice instead of the lemon zest?

      Hi Barb… juice would add more liquid and I haven’t tried it that way. The zest gives a burst of lemon flavor. If you use the lemon in the glaze, you’ll have the zest for the muffin tops.
