Glazed Blueberry Donut Muffins

Hello Classy Clutter readers! Adell here, from Baked in Arizona. Today I am sharing an amazing muffin recipe I tried recently. Muffins are a favorite around our house. What about you?
                         
My family and I recently spent a couple weeks in Utah. My in-laws live there and we love when we get a chance to go visit. It was so nice to escape the Arizona heat too! They live on the side of a mountain, and my kids love walking down to the creek. They could spend hours there throwing rocks into the water.

One of the mornings we were there, I made these muffins. They are pretty much the best of both worlds. A donut/muffin?! Yes, Please 🙂

I love donuts but after I eat one I usually don’t feel great. A muffin probably has as much sugar but it’s baked so it doesn’t make me feel as guilty. The texture of these muffins is very unique. They are more dense than a typical fluffy muffin. And the tart, lemon glaze is just perfect.

 

I hope you give these a try and let us know what you think!

Glazed Blueberry Donut Muffins

Ingredients:

 

  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1-2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon warm water*
Directions:
  1. FOR THE MUFFINS: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a 12 count muffin pan with paper cups or lightly grease.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, combine the lemon zest and sugars. Use your fingertips or a spoon to incorporate the zest into the sugars until moist and fragrant.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the butter, oil, and sugars until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat till combined.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Fold in the blueberries.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan. (The cups will be full)
  6. Bake the muffins for 15-17 minutes, or until they are pale golden brown and a knife comes out clean.
  7. FOR THE GLAZE: in a medium sized bowl mix together the melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and water* Whisk until smooth.
  8. When the muffins have cooled slightly, dip the muffin crown into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden. You can then dip them again for a thicker glaze. I glazed them twice.
  9. *For a more tart glaze, use 2 T. lemon juice instead of the 1 T. warm water. I did this and really loved the extra tart flavor.
