Individual Lemon Blueberry Cakes


This recipe originally came from Parents Magazine. To see the original recipe, click here. I decided to tweak the recipe a little. If you like blueberries and corn muffins, I think that you'll like this recipe.
Ingredients
  • 1-1/2  cups  blueberries (I used frozen and rolled them in 1/4 cup flour to prevent bleeding in the batter)
  • 1  box (8.5 ounces)  corn bread mix (such as Jiffy) and ingredients to make the mix or follow the directions on the canister of corn meal like I did
  • 1/3  cup  granulated sugar
  • 1/2  cup  milk
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup Confectioners sugar
  • 1 lemon - zested and juiced
Directions
1. Heat oven to 400 F. Generously coat 12 cups in a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a medium-size bowl, stir corn bread mix, egg (I used 1 per mix directions), granulated sugar, lemon zest, and milk until combined. Gently stir in blueberries.
3. Fill muffin cups should be about 3/4 full.
4. Bake at 400 F for 10 minutes. Cool in muffin pan on rack for 5 minutes. Run a sharp knife around each cup and remove cakes to racks to cool completely.
5. To serve, combine lemon juice and powdered sugar to make a glaze. Drizzle glaze over each muffin.
