 I thought that lemon, blueberries and muffins sounded like a heavenly combination for a delicious breakfast (and boy, was I right)!

    I am not sure how it would work with frozen blueberries. I think it might cause it to be a little soggy because they would thaw when baking.
  6. Six Sisters says:
    Hi!

    I haven't tried it with frozen blueberries. My only concern is that the frozen blueberries would thaw while it was baking and make it a little soggy. Let us know if you try it! :)
  7. Sara says:
    It is great with frozen - I just made it this morning. I almost always use frozen blueberries (and other berries) in my baking!
  8. Butterfly Baby Place says:
    Just made this tonight and it was phenomenal!!!! I used 1/2 of the lemon's juice with milk as a buttermilk substitute. The zest/lemon takes this to a new level!
  9. Scott says:
    Made this and it's a perfect brunch dish -- not too sweet -- muffin type cake. I used frozen blueberries and lemon juice mixed with the milk to make buttermilk. It worked well! Thanks for the recipe!
