March marks the transition from winter to spring, bringing fresh flavors and the perfect excuse to bake something warm and delicious. This month, we’re featuring a Honey-Lemon Blueberry Muffin recipe inspired by the wholesome, family-friendly values of our Mom’s Choice Award honorees. These muffins are naturally sweetened, bursting with blueberries, and have a bright lemony touch—perfect for breakfast, lunchboxes, or an afternoon snack!
Honey-Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Makes about 12 muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil (or butter)
- ½ cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil and honey until smooth. Add the eggs, yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla, and mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
