Bakery Style Lemon Blueberry Streusel Muffins

I’m giving chocolate the day off — don’t worry it’ll be back — to bring you these bakery style Lemon Blueberry Streusel Muffins! These incredibly soft and fluffy muffins have a ton of big fat blueberries in them, the perfect amount of lemon flavor, and a sweet and crumbly streusel topping to bring it all together! The best is having them still warm from the oven with a little butter — SO GOOD.

quick tips for making the perfect lemon blueberry streusel muffins

• If not using cupcake liners, make sure to spray the cupcake tin generously with a flour-based baking spray.
• This lemon-blueberry streusel muffin recipe calls for either whole milk or buttermilk. I went with the buttermilk and used The Saco Pantry’s Cultured Buttermilk Blend (see instructions on side of container).
• You can also substitute the buttermilk with 1 cup of milk plus 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Stir, then let it sit for about 5 minutes. You can also use 1 cup of plain yogurt in it’s place too!
• You can substitute the fresh blueberries for frozen, but do not thaw them!
• Fold the blueberries into the batter at the end, but be careful not over mix.
• To give your bakery style lemon blueberry streusel muffins some height (a.k.a. “muffin top”), fill them all the way to the top of the muffin tin.
• The tulip cupcake/muffin baking liners I used for these muffins were a gift, but you can find the same ones here on Amazon.

1. Adjust the oven rack to the 2nd level position and pre-heat the oven to 400ºF. Line a standard size muffin baking tin with cupcake/muffin liners. If not using cupcake/muffin liners, make sure to spray the cupcake tin generously with a flour-based baking spray.
2. In a medium or large size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Using another medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Then add in the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
4. Using a spatula, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture a little add a time until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
5. Using a 2 tbsp. cookie scoop, divide the batter into the muffin cups, top with some extra blueberries, then the streusel. Bake for 20 minutes at 400ºF or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. When done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing muffins from the tin.
