Cuisine: Baked Goods
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Zest of 1 lemon
- For streusel: 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, milk, and lemon zest until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
- For the streusel topping, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter in a small bowl. Use your fingers to mix until it forms coarse, crumbly texture.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin, covering the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
