Whole Wheat Blueberry Lemon Muffins

Something about these muffins remind me of Summer. 
Lemon.. blueberries.. a light breakfast on a warm morning with a cup of coffee.. 

I needed a little something to get me out of the Winter funk. These are great!
My toddler gobbled these up. She prefers them sliced in 1/2 with some cold butter on them. 
mmm mmm good!

























Serves 12. (Would also make a great bread!)

2 eggs
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
