What makes these lemon muffins so special? It’s all about the combination of flavors and textures.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes! Just make sure to toss them in a bit of flour before folding into the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking and minimizes color bleeding.

Can I store leftover muffins?

Sure you can: that is… if you have any left!

If you find yourself with some leftover Lemon Blueberry White Chocolate Muffins, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag and thaw individually as needed (you can reheat them in the oven, if desired).

Is the streusel portion required?

You can absolutely skip the streusel if you want, but I wouldn’t recommend it! The streusel adds a delicious texture and a little extra sweetness that balances the tart lemon and juicy berries perfectly.

How many lemons do I need for this recipe?

This recipe calls for 1 tbsp of lemon zest and 2 tbsp lemon juice, which means approximately one medium sized lemon. So with one lemon, you can use the zest and juice it, and you’d have just enough to make these muffins!

What steps should I take to make these Lemon Blueberry White Chocolate Muffins?

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F and lining a muffin pan with paper liners.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

In another bowl, mix together lemon zest and juice with butter, eggs, and milk

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in your blueberries (if using frozen, be sure to coat it with flour) and white chocolate chips.
