Lemon Blueberry Muffins {Weight Watchers Recipe}

These muffins are to die for.  They are seriously that good.  My Mom kept telling me about this recipe she had and how great these muffins were.  Hubz isn't big on lemon so I didn't give them a second thought until I had a lemon that was on the other side of ripe, if you know what I'm saying.

Anyhow, I put that lemon to good use and whipped these babies up.  It pains me to say it, but Mom was right.  They are delicious.  Hubz was even a fan.

Lemon Blueberry Muffins

2 c. flour (I used unbleached AP)
2/3 c. white sugar
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1 c. fresh or frozen blueberries
1 T. grated lemon rind
3/4 c. low-fat buttermilk
3 T. melted butter
1 T. fresh lemon juice
1 egg
1/2 c. powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 400°.  Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl.  Add blueberries and 2 teaspoons of the lemon rind and toss gently.  Make a well in the center.  Combine buttermilk, butter, 1 teaspoon lemon juice and egg in a separate bowl and whisk together.  Add to flour mixture, stirring until just combined.  Spoon into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray.  Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown.  Stir together powdered sugar, remaining 1 teaspoon lemon rind and 2 teaspoons lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.  Drizzle over muffins.

On the old weight watchers points program these muffins were 4 points each.  And, they are worth every single one of those points.  :)
