Lemon Berry Muffins
- 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour (white, wheat, or 50/50)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or a mixture)
- Pre-heat oven to 400
- Peel rind off lemon with a vegetable peeler, avoiding white pith. Place rind and sugar into a small food processor and pulse until lemon is well chopped and blended with sugar. Put lemon sugar into a medium bowl, and add buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla. Stir with whisk to mix and set aside.
- In a larger bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour through salt) and then add wet ingredients to dry and stir with spatula to mix. Add frozen berries and gently fold into batter.
- Spray a muffin pan with oil and using a large spoon (I like my soup spoons for this part) scoop a spoonful of batter and place into each muffin cup. Bake for 25 minutes or until brown on top.
- Remove from oven and eat one or two while they are hot just to make sure they turned out ok :)
- Once cool, place them in a ziploc bag and store in the fridge - they'll last you all week!
