Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2
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.
3
Prepare the streusel topping in a small bowl; mix together the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon.
4
Stir in the melted butter and set aside.
5
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; Set aside.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar.
7
Add eggs to the sugar mixture, one at a time.
8
Add the buttermilk, lemon zest and vanilla and whisk until fully combined.
9
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.
10
Gently fold in the blueberries.
11
Divide the batter evenly into 12 muffins, making sure to completely fill the cups to the top.
12
Top each muffin with streusel topping.
13
Bake for 5 minutes at 425.
14

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Coat Blueberries in Flour 🫐Toss fresh blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates dense, tough muffins instead of tender, fluffy ones.
- Use Room Temperature Buttermilk 🥛Allow buttermilk to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to ensure even distribution and better chemical reaction with baking soda for optimal rise.
- Fill Cups Strategically for Even Baking 🧁Fill muffin cups two-thirds full and place a blueberry-filled dollop of batter in the center, then top with more batter to create a surprise burst of berries in each bite.
- Zest Lemon Before Juicing 🍋Always zest your lemon before cutting or juicing it to capture maximum flavor—zesting after juicing is nearly impossible and wastes the aromatic oils.
