Lemon Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- For Streusel Topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together melted butter, eggs, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- To make the streusel topping, in a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the streusel over the muffin batter in the cups.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
