Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins

For the longest time I’ve enjoyed a break in the afternoon. It’s typically when I am TOTALLY run down from the events of the day and I need a quick rest before pressing on. My Nana used to take what she called “power naps” around two o’clock every day. They lasted anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes and she woke up completely refreshed and ready to roll. She also had more energy than most 20 year-olds. I frequently wish I had the energy that my Nana and Mom had. But I don’t. So I make do 🙂

While I’m totally incapable of falling asleep and then promptly waking up 10 minutes later, I can enjoy a quick “power rest”, a quick 10 minute break that gives me the energy and motivation to finish the day strong: helping with homework, getting dinner on the table, tidying up the house…all with a smile on my face. Whether I watch TV and zone, or turn on some music and read a magazine, these 10 minutes are kinda crucial for my sanity. Kinda, as in, 100% necessary.

I’ve learned to make the most of my 10 minutes and it often starts with an iced mocha. I like to complete my coffee shop experience with a bakery style treat like these Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins.

I mean, how can you not feel special when your afternoon has a little bit of this goodness happening? Am I right?

I do it up right; colorful straws, whipped cream, some chocolate sprinkles…you get the idea. I go for a “better than” coffee shop experience. And I’ve nailed it today.

These muffins, in a word: GLORIOUS, and a big part of the reasoning I’m smiling during my power rest today. Packed to the brim with fresh blueberries and loaded with lemon flavor, these muffins are hard to resist. I topped them with a mouthwatering tart lemon glaze that is the perfect complement to the sweet blueberry muffin.

I used a full pint of blueberries to ensure they were loaded with goodness. My secret weapon? Cream cheese. I swear by this stuff. It makes EVERYTHING better – even muffins!

Perfectly light and airy and yet delicately moist, they are truly hard to resist.

So that’s how I’m spending my 10 minutes of freedom today – how about you?
