Okay, so lemon blueberry muffins are good too. I think the orange flavor in this muffin recipe is a nice change though.
These muffins are light and airy. With a hint of orange flavor and bursting with fresh blueberries. A wonderful way to start the day!
Honestly, I’m not a big muffin fan. I don’t hate muffins, but I don’t love them either.
Probably because I always ate the store bought muffins.
In fact, I lived on those giant Costco muffins when I was in high school. You know, the muffins the size of your head! Enormous muffins, Cup-O-Noodle, Mtn Dew and beef jerky. That was my high school diet! {If only I still had that metabolism!}
As it turns out, I do enjoy muffins. Fresh Homemade Muffins. There just really is no comparison to homemade and store bought.
You will not find fresh orange zest and sweet, oozing blueberries in a store bought muffin.
This Orange Blueberry Muffin Recipe will soon be one of your new favorites too!

Loving the orange blueberry combo! And I used to love Cotsco muffins too! You got like 6 insanely big muffins for like 3 bucks… a steal!

Thanks Patricia!
My high school diet sounds a lot like yours! Blueberry muffins remain a favorite though especially with a little bit of lemon flavor.
Oh good, it wasn’t just me then. I think we all survived on soda, snack food and Cap’n Crunch in high school! 😀
