Most people know today, July 11th, as free Slurpee day, but did you know that it’s also National Blueberry Muffin Day? I swear every food has its own day. It’s exhausting trying to keep up, but luckily I have Krusteaz to remind me! They sent over a box of their Wild Blueberry Muffin Mix so that I could celebrate the day with them.
The box came with a can of blueberries, rather than having dehydrated ones in the dry mix. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen anything like that. It was just as easy to work with and made me feel like I was making something a little more “homemade.”
I doctored up the muffin mix with a recipe that I found on Krusteaz’s website. Instead of using lemon flavored yogurt, I used real lemons. My parents have a lemon tree growing in the backyard that is overflowing with ripe lemons right now. The last time I came over, my dad tried to hand me a grocery bag full of lemons to take. Since it’s just me and my DF, I settled with six.
These muffins are bursting with lemon flavor, the blueberries taste fresh, and the greek yogurt that I used made the muffins extremely moist.
I’m always up for a streusel topping.

Blueberry crisp with vanilla ice cream is the best, but I like blueberries in anything
My favorite is blueberry crisp
I found a recipe for blueberry muffins baked in a 2.5 qt mini crockpot. Then, I found your blueberry lemon coffeecake muffins! In the directions for the coffeecake, you left out the yogurt so I just included it with the other ingredients. It’s in the crockpot baking now!!
