How to make
First preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. In a stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar and lemon zest for 2 minutes. Add in the vanilla and eggs. Next, alternating between the flour and milk, add in the batter. Fold in the blueberries.
Scoop the batter into the muffin tin then top with the cinnamon streusel. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees then drop the temperature to 350 and bake for 18-20 minutes.
Muffins with Streusel
These muffins have a streusel topping which make them even more delicious. If streusel really isn’t your thing, you can definitely skip that part. Don’t worry the muffins will still be just as good.
Tips for moist muffins
- Pull all of your ingredients out a head of time so they are at room temperature.
- Be sure no to over mix as the muffins will be dense.
- Coat the blueberries in a teaspoon of flour and toss. This will ensure the blueberries don’t sink to the bottom of the muffin.
