Blueberry-Lemon Muffins

I am so happy it's summer again because that means I can eat tons and tons of fresh fruit, including one of my personal favorites, blueberries. Often times they're buy one pint get one pint free, and that means I get to BOTH eat them AND bake with time! Double win! Lately it's been blueberry lemon muffins. They are really delicious. They're very moist and tender with a nice citrus zing without being tart. I've given them away to several friends with rave reviews! I've also swapped out the blueberries for peaches, and cut out the lemon zest and juice and make peach muffins, which were equally delicious, so if you have another fruit you'd prefer, stick them in instead!
