Vibrant colour and flavour combo, the undeniable couple in baking: Blueberry & Lemon. The crumb coating has a hint of cinnamon to elevate the flavours.
Not only do the adorable hard muffin cases look good, they do also make it easy to bake a bigger batch at time as you aren’t depending on your muffin trays.
They may get a bit hard when rewarmed and therefore best eaten straight from the oven.
