I wanted to bring some muffins into work, as we were celebrating another birthday in the office and we all decided to bring in things for our "morning meeting" (read: surprise birthday party!). So I made
Lemon Blueberry Muffins. These are a
variation of the other breakfast muffins that I made in the past for another birthday celebration and were such a hit. As we transition into fall, I wanted to use up my leftover berries and though these bright flavors would be perfect for breakfast. Check out this easy recipe on What Micky Eats...

These muffins are another
one bowl mixture and were super quick to whip up. The muffins tops rose nicely and the addition of the purple sugar sprinkles on top gave a nice little crunch.
The lemon flavor really gave an extra pop of zing and was a perfect way to celebrate a breakfast birthday! Everyone seemed to enjoy them, as I even got a recipe request. What are your favorite muffins to make?
