FOR LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFINS:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 and 1/3 cups blueberries-fresh or frozen (reserve ½ cup of blueberries for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F degrees and line standard muffin or cupcake pan with paper liners and set aside.
  2. To make the crumb topping in a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and cinnamon, add melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. To make the muffins in large bowl stir together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl place 2/3 cup granulated sugar and lemon zest and rub for a minute. Add eggs and whisk together eggs and lemon-sugar until combined. Whisk in yogurt, oil, lemon juice and vanilla extract (mixture should be pale and yellow)
  5. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk everything together.

  7. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling maximum 2/3 of each cup and gently tap the pan on the work surface to set. Cover the batter with the remaining blueberries and then cover the blueberries generously with streusel topping.
