Blueberry Lemonade Cupcake Recipe

June 2, 2015 by Susan Bewley

Blueberry Lemonade cupcake

What is your favorite part of Spring and Summer? For me, it’s all the beautiful fruits and vegetables. Eating healthy is so much eats easier and I feel like guilty making homemade desserts when I know I am using only the best homemade ingredients. Lately, I have seen trying to find uses for all the wonderful blueberries I have been buying on sale. While I have a killer slow cooker oatmeal recipe with berries, I am still buying more than we can eat normally in a week. When that happened, I know it is time to start the baking! As someone who loves experimenting with cupcakes, I was excited when we made these truly delicious Blueberry Lemonade Cupcakes.

For me, this cupcake recipe is that perfect mixture of sweet and tart, creating the perfect summer dessert that everyone in the family can enjoy. Best of all, it is super easy to make, allowing me to quickly whip up this recipe and bake while I’m taking care of other weekend chores. It also has the added bonus for making our house smell pretty darn great too! If you try out our yummy Blueberry Lemonade Cupcake Recipe, make sure to tell us what you think in the comments below!

Note: Special thanks to my friends Krista from Adventures of Country Divas for helping me with this recipe and pictures!

    Thanks for sharing the recipe for your blueberry lemonade cupcakes. They look delicious and are beautiful. Your icing looks wonderfully airy and light. I can never get my icing to look so professional. I posted your recipe to my Pinterest board entitled “Cakes and other scrumptious desserts”. I hope to bake them soon.

    I love being able to get the different fruits of the Spring and Summer season. Particularly bing cherries. I am amazed by how you get the cupcake frosting to swirl like that.

    This looks really good! Although I’m starting a new “healthier lifestyle” where I try to only eat portion size, and this would certainly test that for me! will be adding it to my summer must have list!
