Ingredients
Scale
- For Streusel Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
- 6.5 Tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- For Lemon Blueberry Muffins:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 and 1/3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a standard muffin or cupcake pan with paper liners. Set aside.
- To make the crumb topping, in a small bowl whisk together flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, place granulated sugar and lemon zest and rub together for a minute. Add eggs and whisk until combined. Whisk in yogurt, oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale yellow.
- Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of blueberries for topping. Toss remaining blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour and gently fold into the batter.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Top with reserved blueberries and generously sprinkle with streusel topping.
- Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 13–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries without thawing to prevent excess moisture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins soft and fluffy.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
