Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Do your kids get up as early as mine do? This morning they got up and have already gone back to bed (and it's 7:30!!). So, with my free morning I decided I needed a muffin :-) This is my go-to muffin recipe because I can add whatever frozen berries I happen to have on hand, and they are quick to make! Try them out next time you have a chilly or lazy morning at your house!

For the muffins:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest
1 egg
1 cup blueberries

Lemon sugar topping:
1/4 cup raw sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp lemon zest

Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a seperate bowl, mix butter, lemon juice, milk, and egg. Make a well in the flour mixture, and mix in the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in lemon zest and berries. Scoop into muffin tins lined with muffin papers until about 2/3 full.
Make topping: mix together sugars and zest with your fingers until it resembles coarse sand. Sprinkle over muffins.
Bake muffins at 375 for 22-27 minutes.
