Streusel-Topped Blueberry Muffins

The streusel topping for these muffins takes them over the top. I'm a muffin snob, and I find myself making this same recipe over and over! You'll never want to make a boxed blueberry muffin again. They're really moist if you don't overwork the batter. They freeze really well and can be reheated in the microwave.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

Muffins:

  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries

  • 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest

  • ½ cup milk

Streusel Topping:

  • 5 tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. Make the muffins: Place blueberries into a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons flour over top and gently toss to coat.

  3. Combine 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

  4. Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then mix in vanilla and lemon zest.

  5. Without overworking the batter, gently fold in 1/2 of the dry ingredients, then all of the milk, followed by the remaining dry ingredients. Gently fold in floured blueberries; don't stir. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.

  6. Make the topping: Whisk sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping over batter in the muffin cups.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool.
