Lemon Blueberry Muffins







































Lemon blueberry muffins are the perfect treat. They are sweet and indulgent, but they also feel a little healthier with fresh blueberries.







































These muffins have one of my favorite ingredients, coconut milk. This gives the muffins a moist and creamy texture.







































This recipe makes more than your normal batch of muffins because I didn't want any leftover coconut milk. If you want to make a dozen muffins, this recipe can easily be divided.
