Blueberry Lemon Muffin Tops

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

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!
