Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204° C). For big-topped muffins, line 8 standard-size muffin cups with paper liners. For standard-size muffins line 10 muffin cups.
- Use a microplane or citrus zester to remove the zest from a lemon. Add the zest (about 1 tablespoon) to a small bowl with the sugar. Rub the zest into the sugar until the sugar is perfumed by the lemon.
- Whisk the flour, lemon sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add oil to a measuring jug that holds at least 1 cup. Add the egg then fill the jug to the 1-cup line with milk (1/3 to 1/2 cup milk). Measure 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice and then add it along with the vanilla. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the milk mixture to the bowl with dry ingredients then use a fork to combine. Do not over mix. (The muffin batter will be quite thick - see note below for more details). Fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter between muffin cups. (If making big-topped muffins, the batter will come to the tops of the paper liners). Sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin. (As another option, If you have another lemon, add a small, thin slice of lemon to the top of each muffin and sprinkle the sugar on top of the lemon slice.)
- Bake muffins 15 to 20 minutes or until tops are no longer wet and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out with crumbs, not wet batter. Transfer to a cooling rack.
- To store, place cooled muffins in a plastic bag, seal, and store at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. To freeze, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or place them in freezer bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.

EASY LOW-CARB LEMON BLUEBERRY NUT BUTTER MUFFINS
This recipe is loosely based on the marvelous peanut butter sandwich bread from 24/7 Low Carb Diner (http://247lowcarbdiner.blogspot.com/2011/03/mr-peanut-sandwich-bread.html). Amazingly, it's got no flour or even flour substitutes, yet makes a wonderfully muffin-y muffin. It's blueberry season, so I put blueberries in - if you are on a very low-carb fruitless diet, just leave them out. The muffins will still be yummy. I use stevia for a sweetener, but you can use other sweeteners to taste (honey works well, if you' re just doing gluten-free, not low carb.) If you use a granulated xylitol-based sweetener, dissolve it in a little bit of hot water first or it won' t blend in.

Steps:
- Mix eggs, nut butter, salt, baking soda, sweetener, flavoring, and seeds if you're using them. You will probably need some sort of power tool as nut butters are hard to get to start to blend.
- Once you have a batter (it'll be pretty thick) add the lemon juice and mix again.
- If you're going to use blueberries, fill each cup of a greased muffin tin about 1/4 full of batter, add blueberries, then some batter on top.
- Otherwise fill cups 1/2 to 2/3 full.
- Bake 20 minutes at 275.
