| 80 g | fine granulated sugar | |
| 60 g | brown sugar | |
| 125 g | fresh blueberries, washed and dried | |
| 130 g | butter, melted and cooled | |
| 2 | large QL Omega eggs, lightly beaten | |
| 140 ml | milk | |

Method
- To prepare the granola topping, preheat oven to 180C.
- Toast the instant oats in the oven for 5-6 minutes until golden brown in colour. Set aside to cool.
- Rub together the plain flour, brown sugar, toasted oats and butter. Chill until ready to use.
- To prepare the muffin batter, sift together the flour and baking powder. Combine the flour with the sugars and blueberries, setting aside about one third of the blueberries for the top.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the butter, QL Omega eggs, milk, vanilla and lemon rind.
- Mix the dry and wet ingredients together until just combined.
- To assemble, divide the batter to fill medium-sized paper muffin cups to nearly ¾ full.
- Crumble some granola topping over each muffin. Set in two or three of the reserved blueberries just underneath the granola (this creates pretty muffin tops with blueberries ’peeping’ out when the muffins are baked).
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes or until done.
