Lemon Blueberry muffins (with doTERRA Lemon Oil)

I have used essential oils for cleaning and sanitizing for over a decade.  I have also made bath oils, salts and bombs and used the oil aromatically.  I just recently made the switch to doTerra and LOVE these products.   The brands I had used previously were not Certified Pure Theraputic Grade and therefore did not have as many uses.  Since switching to doTERRA, I have learned new ways, every day, to use my oils!!  There really is an oil for everything.

I have used the Lemon oil in my water and also in the allergy shot, but had not cooked with it yet.  I had used it to clean my fresh fruits, but not added it to any fruit dishes.  This had to change.  All I could think about was that wonderful lemon flavor with some delicious blueberries.  So I decided to keep it simple and start with a classic blueberry muffin.  A basic recipe, nothing fancy.  I would just add the lemon oil and see how they turned out.  Since I had never cooked with the oils, I wasn't sure how strong the flavor would be so it was all a guessing game for me.  This time I only used two drops of the Lemon oil.

The muffins had a delightful flavor with  hint of lemon coming through.  I think for a true lemon blueberry muffin, you should probably use four drops.  I will try this next time and update with how the flavor compares.  The blueberries are almost ripe.  I can not wait to try some more blueberry lemon combinations!!
