Tips:
- To ensure the muffins are moist and fluffy, use melted butter instead of oil. Melted butter adds richness and moisture to the muffins, resulting in a tender crumb.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen blueberries can be used, but they should be thawed and drained before adding to the muffin batter.
- Grate the lemon zest finely to release the aromatic oils. This will add a bright citrus flavor to the muffins.
- Do not overmix the muffin batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups almost to the top for tall, domed muffins.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short time to create a crispy muffin top.
- Allow the muffins to cool completely before frosting them. This will prevent the frosting from melting and becoming runny.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Iced Lemon Blueberry Muffins are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of sweet blueberries, tangy lemon, and creamy frosting. With a moist and fluffy crumb and a crispy muffin top, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack. Using fresh blueberries and lemon zest ensures the best flavor, and the frosting adds a touch of sweetness and richness. Whether you enjoy them warm from the oven or chilled with a glass of iced tea, Iced Lemon Blueberry Muffins are a delicious way to enjoy the taste of summer.
