Bright Lemon Berry Muffins are a perfect recipe for cheering up a cold February day. These soft and fluffy muffins whip up in less than a half-hour and are perfect for any occasion.
These muffins are perfect for cold-snowy days at home when you feel like doing a little baking. The lemon flavor is also a wonderful foreshadowing of the glorious spring days to come.
My favorite thing to do on cold days (snow or no snow) is to bake. I’m happy to tell you that these Lemon Berry Muffins whip up fast.
Easy Lemon Muffins with Frozen Berries
So, you can be enjoying hot-from-the-oven muffins in less than 30 minutes. And with a simple ingredient list, you won’t even have to run to the grocery store for ingredients.
I used a frozen mixture of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries that I already had in the freezer, but any type of berry will work. If you’re lucky enough to have fresh berries on hand, they’ll work as well.
