Lemon streusel blueberry muffins are what dreams are made of! I don’t know if I can even begin to describe the perfection of these muffins. A soft, velvety, moist muffin loaded with juicy fresh blueberries and topped with a lightly sweet crumb topping. Absolutely to die for!
Lemon Streusel Blueberry Muffins
So easy you can make these any morning of the week. Mix the streusel topping and refrigerate while you mix the muffin batter. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. In a larger bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs until thick and pale. Slowly whisk in the butter and oil until combined. Then add the buttermilk and vanilla. Fold in the blueberries.
Fill the muffin cups and evenly distribute the streusel amongst the muffins. I use the jumbo muffin liners to help maintain the muffin in the cup while baking. Bake, let cool at least 5 minutes.
Serve and enjoy! This is the best blueberry muffin we have ever eaten. I have tried other recipes with “meh” results.
No need to look any further, my husband has declared this our go to blueberry muffin recipe.
