Lemon Blueberry Muffin

I like to buy blueberries and freeze them. I use them for cakes, muffins, smoothies, pancakes or just simply pop some in my mouth whenever i feel like it. For these muffins, I used frozen blueberries, but fresh ones are just as good. These muffins have a crusty top and the inside is soft and fruity. Try it!
