Blueberry Lemon Muffins
Muffins make a great snack, breakfast or even an addition to a brunch. These Blueberry Lemon Muffins take no time to put together and are great fresh out of the oven. With the addition of fresh lemon zest and juice, these have a bit of a tangy flavour. It goes so great with the sweetness from the fresh blueberries.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups plain flour
- 1/2 Cup granulated white sugar

- Next, add half the flour to the batter and stir in gently. Then add the yoghurt, lemon zest and lemon juice. Add remaining flour. Once it is all incorporated, and the blueberries and stir to combine.
- Pour batter into your prepared muffins tins and bake anywhere from 15 - 20 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center and when just a few crumbs come off, it is done.
