Ingredients

For the Streusel Topping

  • 5 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp lemon paste
  • 2 TBSP lemon juice
  • ½ cup flour
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup sugar

For the Muffin Batter

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 TBSP lemon zest- zest from 2 lemons
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 2 units large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened greek yogurt
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 1 TBSP flour- heaping

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Place muffin liners or squares of parchment paper into every other space in a 12 space muffin tin
  • In a small bowl combine the streusel ingredients; butter, salt, sugar, lemon juice, lemon paste, flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the mixture together until it resembles wet sand.
  • Chill.
  • In a small bowl mix the lemon zest and sugar well with your fingers until well combined and the sugar feels sticky and somewhat wet. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix well with a whisk.
  • In a bowl combine the eggs, yogurt, oil and vanilla- mix well. Stir in the lemon zest and sugar mixture into the egg mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold this wet mixture into the flour mixture taking care not to over-mix. Toss the blueberries in the heaping tablespoon of flour. Fold in the flour coated blueberries into the batter.
  • Using a scoop, scoop out the batter into every other muffin space in your prepared baking tin. The batter should be generously mounded into the tin. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of the streusel topping. REDUCE the oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake until golden brown or about 17 minutes.
  • Remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack. Best served warm out of the oven.
