Summertime Muffins You’ll Bake on Repeat


Hi Reader!

There’s something magical about starting the day with a muffin still warm from the oven. Whether you’re grabbing one on the way to work or enjoying a slow morning with coffee or tea on the porch, I’ve got the perfect summertime muffin recipes for you.

From juicy mango to dreamy strawberry ricotta, tart lemon to cozy chocolate zucchini, these muffins are packed with flavor and perfect for using up fresh fruit and garden veggies.

One thing you'll notice about most of my muffin recipes is that they start on a high heat to achieve a high domed top and soft, crumbly interiors like you'd find in bakery cases.

Here are the 10 best muffins that are perfect for summer mornings ☀️

  • 🧡 Mango Muffins with Coconut Streusel - The bites of juicy mango add so much flavor, so make sure you use a perfectly ripe and sweet one. They’re topped with crunchy, coconut streusel for an amazing tropical flavor combo that I absolutely love!
  • 🍓 Strawberry Ricotta Muffins - Extra moist and soft, these strawberry ricotta muffins are the perfect breakfast treat. Filled with fresh strawberries and sweet ricotta cheese.
  • 🍋 Lemon Muffins - They are light, fluffy, tangy, and taste amazing. They are also super easy to make (no mixer required) and are the perfect dessert, breakfast, or snack.
  • 💜 Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins - Moist and fluffy muffins loaded with raspberries and white chocolate—a heavenly combination.
  • 🍑 Peaches and Cream Muffins - Heavy cream makes these peach muffins soft and tender, with a burst of juicy peach in every bite, you'll be smitten.
  • 🍫 Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins - Made with a chocolate batter and chocolate chips, no one will ever know the secret ingredient is moist zucchini squash!
  • 🍊 Orange Muffins - Made with orange zest and juice, these versatile muffins have a delicate orange flavor.
  • 🥕 Carrot Muffins -These carrot muffins aren’t too sweet, are super moist, and have just the perfect amount of spice and crunch.
  • 🍒 Cherry Almond Muffins - these have a cult-like following. Once you read the reviews, you'll understand. These are moist, fluffy, and shockingly easy to make.
  • 💙 Blueberry Muffins - Moist, delicate, and buttery blueberry muffins that are perfect drizzled with fresh blueberry glaze.

Bake one, or bake them all—I promise your summer mornings just got sweeter.
