This morning I realized that our lemons were looking a little sad, and figured it was time to do something with them. I had a bag of frozen blueberries in the freezer and lemon-blueberry is one of my favorite flavor combos. These gluten free lemon blueberry muffins turned out great. Vivi and her cousins gobbled them up.
When we visit the farmer’s market, I need to go armed with a delicious gluten free muffin because Vivi used to love to get a blueberry muffin from the bakery stand. I could tell she was getting a little bored with the banana muffins I have been making.

So easy, and so delicious. I grabbed a huge lemon from my parents' tree this evening so I'm going to make them again in the morning.
I haven't tried a gluten free recipe yet, but this one looks simple and delicious!
