Description
Delightful Lemon Blueberry Muffins with a crispy streusel topping, perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour (Consider substituting with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.)
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt (Can be replaced with sour cream or dairy-free yogurt.)
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Try coconut sugar for a richer flavor.)
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder (Always check it’s fresh for optimal results.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Enhances the overall flavor.)
- 2 large Eggs (Substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option.)
- 1 cup Fresh Blueberries (Frozen blueberries also work well, just don’t thaw them first.)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest (Add more for an extra lemony kick.)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (Adjust to taste for your perfect tartness.)
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil (Swap with melted butter or applesauce for a healthier alternative.)
- 1/4 cup Butter (Gives richness and flavor; can be adjusted based on preference.)
- 1/3 cup All-purpose Flour (Gluten-free flour works here too.)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (Feel free to adjust the amount to suit your taste.)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and grease a muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, blend Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined; gently stir in fresh blueberries.
- In a small bowl, mix butter, flour, and granulated sugar for the streusel topping until crumbly.
- Scoop muffin batter into the muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full, and sprinkle with streusel.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
