Yahoo! My husband Mike likes these better than starbucks! I shared the first batch with family members and received a big thumbs up and a do you have any more?

Whew! Nothing like the muffins at our Starbucks. Not even close. I threw these in the garbage.

These were good and the lemon zest really did help the blueberry flavor stand out. This muffin had a nice texture and crumb. I did dip the tops in melted butter and sugar for some of the muffins, which my husband prefers.
