BLUEBERRY LEMON STREUSEL MUFFINS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Blueberry Lemon Streusel Muffins Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 15

Muffins:
1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
3/4 Cup sugar
2 Teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Zest 1 Lemon
1/3 Cup vegetable oil
1 Lg. egg
1/3 Cup milk
2 Cups blueberries
Streusel Topping:
1/2 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup flour
1/4 Cup butter (cold)
1 Teaspoon cinnamon

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 moist and fluffy muffin, make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use 1 teaspoon of bottled lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest.
  • Be generous with the streusel topping. The streusel is what makes these muffins so special.
  • If you don't have a muffin tin, you can bake these muffins in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just adjust the baking time to 30-35 minutes.

Conclusion:

These lemon streusel muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their moist and fluffy texture, bright lemon flavor, and crunchy streusel topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give these lemon streusel muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
