Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins

For the longest time I’ve enjoyed a break in the afternoon. It’s typically when I am TOTALLY run down from the events of the day and I need a quick rest before pressing on. My Nana used to take what she called “power naps” around two o’clock every day. They lasted anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes and she woke up completely refreshed and ready to roll. She also had more energy than most 20 year-olds. I frequently wish I had the energy that my Nana and Mom had. But I don’t. So I make do 🙂

While I’m totally incapable of falling asleep and then promptly waking up 10 minutes later, I can enjoy a quick “power rest”, a quick 10 minute break that gives me the energy and motivation to finish the day strong: helping with homework, getting dinner on the table, tidying up the house…all with a smile on my face. Whether I watch TV and zone, or turn on some music and read a magazine, these 10 minutes are kinda crucial for my sanity. Kinda, as in, 100% necessary.

I’ve learned to make the most of my 10 minutes and it often starts with an iced mocha. I like to complete my coffee shop experience with a bakery style treat like these Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins.

I mean, how can you not feel special when your afternoon has a little bit of this goodness happening? Am I right?

I do it up right; colorful straws, whipped cream, some chocolate sprinkles…you get the idea. I go for a “better than” coffee shop experience. And I’ve nailed it today.

These muffins, in a word: GLORIOUS, and a big part of the reasoning I’m smiling during my power rest today. Packed to the brim with fresh blueberries and loaded with lemon flavor, these muffins are hard to resist. I topped them with a mouthwatering tart lemon glaze that is the perfect complement to the sweet blueberry muffin.

I used a full pint of blueberries to ensure they were loaded with goodness. My secret weapon? Cream cheese. I  swear by this stuff. It makes EVERYTHING better – even muffins!

Perfectly light and airy and yet delicately moist, they are truly hard to resist.

    Found your carrot cake recipe this past summer after just googling around, and now I come back to your blog every time I want to try something new! Loved these muffins, and my three year old did too! Even my grandmother approved. 11/10

    I made the blueberry lemon cream cheese muffins. They’re absolutely delish!! The recipe calls for 1/2 cup whole milk. When I did that the consistency just wasn’t right. It was more like a cookie dough, not a muffin batter. I added a little more milk and it was still too doughy. Then added a little more and I was happy with the consistency. It def made more,than 12 muffins! (No complaints about that!). I will def be making these again!!

    I make my own “Iced Coffee”, I have a 12 cup coffee maker, Make a full pot of coffee one scope of grounds stronger than you normally make it (or one tablespoon more). I take the carafe off the machine, to let cool. In a 2 qt glass pitcher I add 1/4 cup of my favorite coffee creamer, and fill with the freshly brewed coffee. And refrigerate., Serve chilled and over ice. Also I make Coffee cubes, (normal brew strength), As to not water down the Iced Coffee.

    Made these earlier, TOTALLY forgot the sugar, and they’re still good! I’ll probably make some honey butter to slather on them. I used gf flour and homemade almond milk.
