Who doesn't like blueberry muffins? These stay moist with the use of yogurt and the combination of tart lemon zest with the sweet glaze just melt in your mouth. LIghten up the calories with low fat yogurt and Splenda.

I had to rush in here just to tell you K~ how much I LOVE these muffins! They mix up so easily (love that the blueberries are mixed in with the flour first - saves that dusting bit to keep them from all sinking) - absolutely adore the flavor. The subtleness of the lemon in the background is divine! The make 12 perfectly full muffins that are very light in texture but FULL of flavor! I skipped out on the glaze to save a few calories and used a low-fat Lemon Chiffon yogurt. Perfect all the way around. Freezing some now so I don't eat them all and will have them for back to school. Thanks friend for sharing your recipe! 10 Stars if I could give them. :) Tagged in Newest Zaar Tag game.
