2 tablespoons flax seed, toasted
2 large egg whites + 1 large egg
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup Meyer Lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon finely grated Meyer Lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups blueberries
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
Grind flax seed until finely ground.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ground flax, egg whites, egg, brown sugar, oil, lemon juice, honey, lemon zest, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well combined. Whisk in milk and flour until just combined; stir in blueberries until combined.

These look delicious! I'm so excited that lemons are becoming acceptable in desserts again! I'm definitely going to have to try these!
ReplyDeleteI just posted today about lemons! And that two different friends gave me lemons from their trees. One regular, and the other meyer lemons.
ReplyDeletePerfect recipe at a perfect time for me!
:)
I love the combination of lemon and blueberries too! I didn't realize that meyer lemons were sweeter though.
ReplyDeleteI love meyer lemons too. Paired with blueberries it's so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI read so many recipes using meyer lemons, but I can never find them in my local grocery stores! :( I'm sure these would be great with regular lemons, but I want to try the other ones!
ReplyDeleteI really need to experience the lemon/blueberry combination. Sounds so refreshing!
ReplyDeleteI just had my first meyer lemons and I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteI bet these are awesome - but lemon and blueberries are always great together :)
That is such a great idea to use Meyer lemons in these. You're a smart cookie.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I like to put a bit of streusel-y goodness on top of muffins before baking. That would be good on these.
I love blueberry muffins, but the addition of lemon is probably wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of your meyer lemon find! They are impossible to find here. Lemon and blueberry muffins are truly the height of breakfast perfection. And I bet the meyers add the most luscious flavor.
ReplyDeleteIn response to your comment, YES I do live in NYC! Born and bred. You should come visit sometime! And go to cooking school here!
Oh the combo of lemon and blueberry. You had me pining for Saturday morning, thank goodness it is Friday!
ReplyDeletemmm...yum! i just love meyer lemon (especially in baked goods!)

Love those muffins. I should make them because I see Meyer lemons in the store and hear about them in blogs, but I never buy them because I never know what I should do with them.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandmas Meyer Lemon tree has been keeping me knee deep in wonderful lemons for months. Love finding good recipes to make with them.
ReplyDeleteI never even knew that there were different kinds of lemons :-)
ReplyDeleteYou know what, I have lemons and I have blueberries, and I reckon I'm going to make these muffins. Thanks for the inspiration :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll just go outside and pick me a Meyer right off my tree (aren't you jealous), then substitute the blues for raspberriies because I have them in the freezer and I just have to start using them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a brunchy treat.
I've never tried Meyer lemons but I know people rave about them. These muffins look so good!
ReplyDeleteyou and your sneaky ground flax--great addition! lemon + blueberry = win.
ReplyDeletei'm the same, just picked up more meyers... just couldn't resist :) what was that savory meyer lemon dish you made a little while back? going to post about that?
ReplyDeletemy bowl of yogurt and granola is calling for one of these gorgeous muffins crumbled on top!!! <3 YUMS :)
ReplyDeleteI've never thought of toasting flax. Do you buy whole seeds, toast, then grind? Or can you toast the already ground flax seed? These muffins look great, btw.
ReplyDeleteYour description of the meyer lemons has me intrigued...I wonder if I'll be able to find some at the grocery store tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of you all with meyer lemon trees!
Shannon, oh no, I was just making dinner one night. I'm not posting that.
Rachel, I toasted the flax whole and then ground it in my coffee bean grinder.
Muffins are one of my favorite things to eat for breafast! YUM!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe! I just bought Meyer lemons this week at Wegman's and cannot wait to try these muffins! :)
