When a Foodie writer enumerated the best Walmart bakery items according to customers, we were astounded at the depth and breadth of quality cookies, pies, cakes, and other goodies available at Wally World. The item that our writer pointed out as the crème de la crème of Walmart's bakery was the Marketside Lemon Blueberry Baked Muffins, which come in four-count packages and sell for around $5 as of this writing, with pricing and availability subject to variance. With a 4.7/5 star score across almost 900 ratings, it's safe to say that these muffins enjoy near-universal love from Walmart shoppers. But don't take our word for it! The reviews speak for themselves.

One happy reviewer cheered: "I was surprised when my [husband] (who is VERY hard to please) told me that he really, really liked these lemon blueberry muffins! Yay we have a winner!" Spouses in general must have a yen for these muffins, as another reviewer raved/complained: "These are my husband's favorite things in the world. I always have to buy 3 because 2mins after getting them back to the house he inhales an entire pack before I get the rest of the groceries inside." Really getting to the gist of things, a third reviewer begged Walmart not to change a thing: "[T]hese 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 of the blueberries [...] [P]lease don't fix what isn't broken."

Several reviews were charmed by just the combination of bold blueberries and bright, zesty lemon, which was declared a taste sensation. The moisture and freshness of the muffins also got several shout-outs. Most reviewers favored the muffins for a grab-and-go breakfast with a mug of steaming coffee, but they also earned high marks for their snack potential, with some indicating that the muffins were not cloyingly sweet. Some intrepid consumers went so far as to nuke or toast the muffins with a little bit of butter, which we feel would take these right over the top into an eye-rollingly indulgent treat.

There are a lot of great reasons to shop at Walmart — a little while back, we covered a Walmart+ Burger King perk that you won't want to miss — but we bet "exceptional baked goods" doesn't normally register on your mental list of pros for braving the traffic at your local Supercenter. After reading several dozen of the glowing reviews for the lemon blueberry muffins, however, color us convinced. Lemon wasn't our initial pick for how to make boxed blueberry muffins better, but now, we're debating the wisdom of including some lemon zest in our next batch! In the meantime, we have Walmart's bakery to do the work for us.
