Zesty lemon and bursting with blueberries at every bite, Lemon Blueberry Muffins are a breakfast staple that cannot be missed. 
As we enter our second week of the school year, I am feeling like the routine is starting to click. Several breakfast options to start the day, lunches are made the night before and making sure that dinner is served early enough to get them in bed for a good night rest is the key to feeling calm. I try to keep lunches healthy and simple; a protein, fruit, veggies, yogurt and a treat and they are hungry when lunch rolls around. Dinner we are always trying to figure out. I swear their taste buds change daily…one day they love something and can’t live with out it and the next day they can’t even eat a bite. But the one thing that I am working hard to have ready, with several options, is breakfast. My goal is to make sure they start the day fueled…good rest and good food is the key to a successful day.
Lemon Blueberry Muffins are one of those staple items that we can’t live without. Loaded with fresh ingredients, tart and a little sweet, and a perfect grab and go item if time doesn’t allow a full on sit down meal. Each muffin is bursting with wild blueberries and garnished with a smooth and tart lemon glaze that can allow these perfect bites for breakfast double as a sweet dessert.
