BLUEBERRY LEMON STREUSEL MUFFINS RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by MJH
Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In your first bowl add your flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and zest from one lemon. Mix. In another take your blueberries and a spoonful of your dry mix and toss. This actually will help your blueberries stay put in the batter and not sink to the bottom. In your last bowl combine the vegetable oil, egg, and milk. Whisk. Combine the flour mixture with the butter mixture all at once and then mix. Don't over mix! Add your blueberries and mix as little as possible. Combine sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a pastry blender to mix- or if you're like me just use your hand. Then sprinkle over the muffin batter. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack or like me enjoy immediately.
Tips:
- For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make the streusel topping, use cold butter. This will help the topping stay crumbly when it bakes.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will help the muffins rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
These blueberry lemon streusel muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their moist and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and crunchy streusel topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
