Lemon Blueberry Muffins FAQs
How Do You Add Protein To Muffins?
Adding protein powder, eggs, or Greek yogurt to muffins is an excellent way to increase the protein in a serving. I personally prefer to add Greek yogurt to a muffin recipe, and I typically serve muffins with Greek yogurt as well for an extra protein boost.
Can You Add Lemon To Blueberry Muffins?
Lemon is a great addition to blueberry muffins because the tartness of lemon provides a nice contrast to the sweetness of blueberries. Both lemon and blueberry are versatile flavors that can be used in a variety of dishes.
