Make moist and fluffy blueberry lemon muffins perfect for gifting. This recipe delivers a spring classic flavor with a beautiful, crunchy streusel topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For the Streusel: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the muffins.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  6. Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine the streusel flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full with batter. Sprinkle a generous amount of streusel topping over each muffin.
  8. Bake for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use fresh blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
  • To keep these giftable treats moist during transport, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • For an extra tart flavor, add an extra teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
