Instructions
Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Preheat oven to 375 °F.
Line muffin tins with paper liners. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Sift mixture. Remove ¼ cup of dry mixture and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine milk, applesauce, eggs, and lemon extract. Whisk until well-blended. Add to dry ingredients. Whisk to mix. Wash hands after touching uncooked eggs.
Place frozen blueberries in a medium bowl, add ¼ cup reserved dry mixture and toss.
With a rubber spatula, fold breaded blueberries and any remaining dry ingredients from the bottom of the bowl into the muffin mixture.
Pour ⅓ cup (#12 scoop) of muffin mixture into each prepared muffin liner.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 5 minutes.

Blueberries, fresh: 1 lb 8 oz
Notes
Contains milk, eggs, and wheat (flour).
If you do not use paper muffin liners, spray the muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Coating blueberries with dry mixture will prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffin.
To verify muffins are done, insert a wooden toothpick into the center of a muffin. If wet batter sticks to the toothpick, the muffins need more baking time.
Muffins freeze well. Allow muffins to cool completely. Wrap securely in foil, freezer wrap, or place in freezer bags. Label and date. Muffins can thaw safely at room temperature. For information on how to safely thaw foods, visit foodsafety.gov.
