Blueberry Lemon Pancake Mix Muffins

Prep: Preheat the oven to 350F. Use cooking spray or avocado oil to grease a 12-count muffin pan, or use baking muffin liners.

Mix: In a large mixing bowl, add the pancake mix (2 1/4 cups), milk (1 cup), brown sugar (1/3 cup packed), lemon juice (from 1 large), lemon zest (from 1 large), egg (1 large), vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) and poppy seeds (1 teaspoon), and stir until well mixed. The batter should be similar consistency to pancake batter or just slightly thicker. Add blueberries (3/4 cup) and mix gently. Divide the batter between the prepared 12 muffin tin wells. They should be filled nearly all the way to the top. Add a few blueberries to the top of each muffin if desired.

Bake: Bake muffins in the preheated oven for 20-23 minutes. Muffins are done baking when a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool for a couple minutes, then use a butter knife around the edges of the muffins to gently loosen from the sides. Place muffins on a cooling rack and let them cool completely. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days.
