I liked the cornmeal in these muffins- it gave them a different texture. The lemon was a bit too strong, though, as it seemed to over power the flavor of the bluberries. I think next time I'll just omit the blueberries (for just plain lemony goodness- maybe sprinkle with poppy seeds?) or cut back on the lemon.
