Lemon Blueberry Muffins

It’s been a helluva week. I’m still getting over my flu/cold. I never knew it was possible to blow your nose countless countless times and go through 3 boxes of kleenex within a two week span. My youngest also got sick and my husband too. Ah, so it goes with flu season. And my poor little iPhone also had a horrible week. Madeline is now successfully potty trained *hooray* but while she was sick one day this week, she decided she would forget how to get up and go to the bathroom. She started crying for me, I picked her up and she proceeded to pee all over me.

A mother’s love.

I wasn’t grossed out at all but I had my iPhone in the front pocket of my hoodie sweatshirt. I think the case protected it so everything was as good as new after some antibacterial cleaning. Then, the very next day, my iPhone, still in the trusty front pocket of my hoodie sweatshirt (what I am always wearing around the house) I bent over near the toilet and the damn thing fell in!!!!

AHHHHHHHHH.  . my iPhone.

I immediately picked it up, out of the toilet and was screaming. Don’t ask me why. My husband said “you need to let it dry out in a bag of dry, uncooked rice.” WTH? Surely, something he read on some website somewhere. Apparently it helps to drain the phone better. And then he said the words that no iPhone user ever wants to hear.

“You probably shouldn’t use or turn on your iPhone for at least 48 hours.”

“If there’s water in the phone, you don’t want to turn it on because it might short circuit. .”  blah blah. .  didn’t really hear anything after that. NOT USE MY IPHONE FOR 48 HOURS? Are you serious? Can I even do this?

Being the iPhone junkie that I am, I didn’t use it for a few hours, turned the thing on and it worked fine. Moral of the story? Never carry your iPhone in the front pocket of your hoodie near a toilet.

So, I absolutely had to end this week with something delightful. Something that would bring a smile to my face.

I baked some glorious Lemon Blueberry muffins. And I used my new Silicone Baking Cups from The New York Baking Company.

Lemon Blueberry Muffins

This recipe yields about 14 regular sized muffins.
Prep Time8 minutes mins
Cook Time25 minutes mins
Total Time33 minutes mins
Course: Breakfast, Dessert or Snack
Servings: 14
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 heaping tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen make sure they are thoroughly defrosted
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • confectioners’ sugar powdered sugar to dust on top (optional)
  • Special equipment suggested: silicone baking cups and a *cookie dough scooper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and place your oven rack in the center. Line your muffin tin with your silicone baking cups or butter or spray (with a non-stick cooking spray) the bottom and sides of each muffin tin cup.
  • In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
  • In the bowl of your electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until softened (for about 1 minute). Add the sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed and add in the vanilla extract.
  • With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture (in three additions) and milk (in two additions) alternating, starting and ending with the flour. Mix only until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries by hand using a rubber spatula.
  • *Scoop out the muffin batter and place into each baking cup and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes, remove from silicone baking cups, dust with some confectioners’ sugar and devour immediately.

    I am so sorry you’ve had such a rough week! Oh, man, when it rains, it pours, right? At least your phone is ok. That happened to Mr. Allie- TWICE (!) and both times he lost the phone and all his data. On the bright side- your muffins look so delightful! I love the lemon + blueberry combo. So cheerful! Get well soon, Alice!

    You’re a trooper Alice. You keep everything together, (from my point of view,) so seamlessly. I had a bit of a cringe moment followed by a giggle. Love your story, I hope you’re feeling much better now. Love the muffins too, luckily blueberries are in season so I must get thee to the shops!

    What a week, Alice! Ughhh. I would totally be the one to drop my phone in a toilet, by the way. (It’s also perpetually covered in food.) So glad that you’re feeling better and that your iPhone made it through its trials safe and sound — and that you pulled out these SPECTACULAR muffins from all that! I was just thinking about how I want to jazz up my blueberry muffin recipe and these look like a perfect place to start. Here’s to more peaceful week ahead!

    Ugh, what a week for you, Alice! Most devastating part, of course, is the phone in the toilet. I would’ve screamed too! I’m always doing something stupid like keeping my phone in my pocket when I go to the bathroom and it always almost falls out. Reading your experience will make me keep the damn thing out of the bathroom, lol. I can relate to the illness – I’ve been totally wiped out due to the worst flu I’ve had in years. Was bedridden all last week, horrible cough, a throat that feels like it’s on fire, and bad sleep. Turns out my throat, sinuses and even eyes are all infected. Best part, Tony’s feeling super sick now too. Sigh. At least I can gaze upon your yummy, sunny muffins and these beautiful bird plates to make myself feel a bit better! I hope that you ‘n the family have all recovered fully!

    These muffins look really tasty! And I totally sympathize. My first cell phone ever died a horrible death in a toilet. It was a dark, dark day.

    Oh no! What a week! I hope you’re starting to feel back to normal and your phone is staying dry, and far away from pee and toilets! Gah! Yes the rice trick works, you’re the 5th person to confirm it for me 😉

    These muffins surely are the perfect antidote to a trying week!
