The Best Blueberry Dessert From Walmart's Bakery, Hands Down

Blueberries can be a little bit controversial. Some people love them, others hate them, many buy the tiny globes for their nutritional power alone. One thing most of us can agree on is that blueberries work incredibly well in baked goods, especially when layered with brown sugar and warming spices. Most stores carry a range of such treats, including Walmart, where a Tasting Table expert found a hidden gem: Marketside Lemon Blueberry Baked Muffins.

Our tester tried five different blueberry desserts from Walmart and these citrus-spiked muffins topped the list. The mild touch of lemon helped cut through the sugar and balanced out what could have been an overly sweet pastry otherwise. The muffins are flavored with lemon pulp, which adds a bright fragrance that pairs well with the tart blueberries.

Speaking of the berries, the highlight of these muffins is the fact they are loaded with absolutely gigantic ones. Our tester loved the textural difference between the soft muffin and the chewy fruit, which created a more complex bite. They felt the streusel could have been a little crunchier, but it still added to the treat as an enjoyable top layer.

Our tester chose the Marketside Lemon Blueberry Baked Muffins over all the other great blueberry-flavored muffins at Walmart, as the lemon ones just stood out more. If the 4.7-star rating from over 2,000 reviews is anything to go by, it seems that customers agree. One customer wrote, "These lemon blueberry muffins have become my regular morning breakfast. They're full of fresh moist blueberries combined with the accent of lemon which is a delicious way to enhance the flavor." Another said, "These are absolutely amazing. Great in the morning or anytime you want a delicious treat! The lemon paired with the blueberry is a flavor explosion!"

People love other Marketside muffin flavors too, like the banana nut, but the lemon blueberry is a definite standout. One person wrote on a thread, "They have blueberry lemon at my Walmart right now. So good. They're seriously the best store bought muffins." Some Redditors recommend warming and serving them with butter or caramelizing them in a hot pan. If store-bought is a no-go but you're looking to get your fix, you can always make your own cardamom blueberry muffins at home. For a blueberry dessert that isn't a muffin, our tester also liked the Freshness Guaranteed Mini Blueberry Pie.
