  1. Has anyone tried making these gluten free? If so what did you change.
     
  2. Best recipe I ever made for muffins, I love lemon and so used the fresh juice from my zested lemon instead of milk for making the glaze. It really enhances the blueberry flavor. I also only had fat free vanilla Greek yogurt to use but they turned out perfect, very moist, a bit thicker batter maybe and I filled the 12 cupcake cups up full but they do not cook over at all and come out clean and yummy looking, which they are! Thank you for a great new muffin recipe!
     
  3. 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.

I am... ~a mother of 2 kids (19 and 22) who are extremely picky eaters. The mere mention of "healthy" sends them running in the opposite direction. They prefer the creamy, cheesy, fried stuff that they weren't brought up on! ~a wife of a wonderful man who fights an expanding waistline and will lovingly eat most anything I set before him. Everything is 5 stars to him. :) He's the easiest customer a cook could ask for! ~a teacher who tends to reach for comfort foods to relieve stress. I am a middle school reading specialist. The miracles I see on a daily basis keeps me going! But it's also stressful, so keep me away from the cookie jar! I really have to fight off the sugary, fat-laden stuff that has no worth beyond the momentary comfort in my mouth. ~and I'm also a daughter who was brought up on home cooked meals back when calories meant nothing and taste was everything! That is an idea built into my system that's hard to shake! My mother raised 8 kids (I'm #7) on her home-cooking and I always teased her that she didn't raise a single skinny kid! I luckily inherited her great love of cooking and baking. (I miss you Mom!) ~finally, I'm "mom" to the best Bichon in the world. He is Quincy, our kid in a dogsuit. He's 13 years old, but still a puppy to us. <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/264017/Quincy%20run%20small.jpg> Below are photos I've taken of some of my favorite recipes found on Recipezaar: <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w265.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w265.photobucket.com/albums/ii223/duchick/5b275464.pbw" height="300" width="400"><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii223/duchick/?action=view¤t=5b275464.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a> <style>body{background:url("http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii223/duchick/lakehouse_cupcake.jpg?v=0");background-repeat:repeat;}</style>
