I love muffins & am always up for trying a new, different muffin recipe. These muffins were lovely, with a delicate lemon flavor. Blueberries are not in season, so I used frozen, but look forward to trying it again with fresh. The muffins went together easily,& baked for 21 minutes. I got 12 big, beautiful muffins. Thanks, Sue!
