Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix together all ingredients with the exception of the blueberries. Adding the lemon zest makes these cake mix muffins taste wonderful!
Coat blueberries by gently tossing in a heaping teaspoon of cake mix or flour. Gently fold in blueberries into the batter.
Fill muffin tins with batter. A scoop often makes it easier.
Add a few fresh blueberries on muffin batter. These are more visible after baking.
Place into oven at 350 Fahrenheit.
Start checking if they are done at 15 minutes. Insert toothpick in the center of the muffin and until it comes out clean.

Frozen Blueberries - If fresh blueberries are hard to find or too expensive, frozen are fine. Make sure you toss them in a little of the cake mix (or a teaspoon or so of flour) prior to adding into batter. It helps both preventing the blueberries from sinking and from coloring the batter as much.
The number of muffins per batch - When looking at the cake mix box, they say the recipe can make 24 muffins. I make 18 larger muffins.
Cake mix flavors - I normally use yellow cake mix. However, using white, french vanilla or even spice cake mix works well with blueberries. If you have spice cake and a can of pumpkin, remember, you can make 2 ingredient pumpkin muffins!
