Preparing the Blueberries:

Using Fresh or Frozen blueberries:

The biggest difference between using fresh and frozen blueberries is how they look when finished. The blueberry muffin with flax and coconut oil pictured below has fresh blueberries.

You can see they don’t bleed blueberry juice into the muffin dough. The flavor is pretty much the same but the texture is a bit different.

The berries give a more distinct presence in the muffin since they have not been broken down by freezing.

Substitutions:

When you are out of an ingredient try one of these substitutions.

• substitute greek yogurt one to one for sour cream.
• Substitute ground flax meal for the eggs (This will make a denser muffin with more fiber). Use one Tablespoon of ground flax meal to three tablespoons of water for each egg.
• Substitute avocado oil or softened coconut oil one to one for butter.

Freezing Muffins:

Make a double batch and freeze these lemon blueberry muffins. They are so easy to grab right out of the freezer to add to the lunch box. Properly frozen these muffins will stay delicious when defrosted for up to two months.

How to Freeze Muffins:

• Cool muffins completely after baking
• Put the muffins in an airtight freezer container, label and freeze
• OR double wrap the muffins with plastic grocery store bags. Just suck out the air and twist the first bag tight. Then wrap the second bag around the first and freeze.

I reuse plastic grocery bags all the time in my freezer for baked goods. they hold fine for up to a month. For longer freezer storage use approved freezer bags or containers.
