Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Grease a 12 cup muffin pan with Crisco, including the top of the pan. If using paper liners you can skip greasing the muffin cups, but still grease the top of the pan.

Prepare the streusel topping in a small bowl; mix together the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon.

Stir in the melted butter and set aside.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar.

Add eggs to the sugar mixture, one at a time.

Add the buttermilk, lemon zest and vanilla and whisk until fully combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula and stir until just combined. Be careful to not over-mix the batter – it will be lumpy.

Gently fold in the blueberries.

Divide the batter evenly into 12 muffins, making sure to completely fill the cups to the top.

Top each muffin with streusel topping.

Bake for 5 minutes at 425.

Reduce oven to 375 and bake for an additional 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Blueberry Coating Trick 🫐
Toss fresh blueberries in a light coating of flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
Buttermilk Magic 🥛
If you don't have buttermilk, create a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes to curdle.
Muffin Tin Prep 🧈
Use a non-stick spray or butter the muffin tin thoroughly, and consider using parchment paper liners for easy removal and minimal cleanup.
Gentle Mixing Technique 🥣
Mix the batter just until ingredients are combined - overmixing will develop gluten and create tough, dense muffins.
Streusel Topping Secret 🍪
For a bakery-style finish, create a simple streusel topping by mixing cold butter, brown sugar, and a touch of flour to sprinkle over the muffins before baking.
