Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes

I love all things blueberry. I also happen to be a big fan of lemony treats. Throw the two together and I am one happy girl. And let me tell you, this Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes recipe is the bomb.

First of all, it’s made from scratch. From. Scratch. That means you control all the ingredients. You can be as organic or processed as you like. It is totally up to you. There’s freedom in that.

Then there’s the fact that blueberries are a nutritional powerhouse containing lots of antioxidants, and 25 percent of your daily Vitamin C. They’re considered superfood. So basically you can give your children cake AND be healthy at the same time. That’s what I tell myself anyway. Don’t judge.

With the exception of buttermilk, blueberries and lemons, you probably have most of the ingredients already on hand. And if you make my Homemade Ranch Dressing and already have powdered buttermilk in stock, you might try a substitution. Note that I have not tried this…it’s just a suggestion.

On a side note: please do not purchase powdered buttermilk from the link above. As grateful as I am for you to shop through the links provided at Simple Saving Savvy, I do not want you paying double the price. You can pick up powdered buttermilk for around $4.50 at the grocery store. 

Now, I’m just going to be honest and tell you ahead of time that making these Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes from scratch will be a little more labor intensive and time consuming then whipping together a batch from a box. But once you taste the super moist cake loaded with fresh blueberry flavor topped off by lemony goodness, you’ll thank me – and admit that they’re worth the effort.

 I’m going to tell you another secret. Eye-catching recipe images call for lots and lots of frosting. You can cut the amount of Lemon Buttercream Frosting in half and it will still be delicious.
