While this lemon-blueberry duo is my warm weather muffin of choice, this recipe easily adapts to other fruits. I always have a bag of the dried ingredients mixed so when I get home after a trip I just need to add the remaining ingredients to the recipe and I’m ready to go! Or, bring the dried mix with you and find a local market for the rest of the ingredients. Grab a disposable muffin tin and you’re all set!
