- In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter with 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, and stir in vanilla and lemon zest. Fold in dry ingredients alternately with milk. Fold in blueberries. Remember, fold gently, don't stir. Spoon batter into prepared cups.
- Combine 2 tablespoons flour, 5 tablespoons sugar ,and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter with fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles course crumbs. Sprinkle over batter in muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack. These muffins freeze really well, and re-heat in the microwave successfully. Hope you enjoy!!

Tips:
- Choose the right muffin base: Different muffin batters have different flavors and textures. Some popular options include classic vanilla, chocolate chip, blueberry, and banana nut. You can also find gluten-free and vegan muffin recipes.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts will give your muffins the best flavor. If you're using frozen fruit, thaw it before adding it to the batter.
- Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help the muffins bake evenly.
- Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking muffins is 350°F (175°C). If the oven is too hot, the muffins will brown too quickly and may be undercooked in the center. If the oven is too cool, the muffins will take longer to bake and may be dry.
- Don't overbake the muffins: Overbaking can make the muffins dry and crumbly. Check the muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
- Let the muffins cool before frosting or topping them: This will help the frosting or topping set properly.

Muffin toppings are a great way to add flavor, texture, and visual appeal to your muffins. There are endless possibilities for muffin toppings, so you can be creative and experiment to find your favorites. Whether you prefer classic streusel toppings, crunchy nuts, or sweet fruit, there's a muffin topping out there for everyone.
