Key Ingredients & Tools

Before jumping into the muffin-making magic, let’s go over the key ingredients and tools you’ll need:

• Flours: Both all-purpose flour and a bit for coating the blueberries are essential for a texture that’s fluffy on the inside yet crisp on top.
• Sugar: Granulated sugar brightens up the flavor and contributes to that lovely crumb. Don’t skimp on it!
• Eggs and Greek Yogurt: These create moist, tender muffins, and the yogurt adds an extra punch of flavor that can’t be overlooked.
• Tools: You’ll need a muffin pan, paper liners, a whisk, and a mixing bowl. Simple, right?

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s turn those fresh lemons and blueberries into something irresistible! Follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line your muffin pan with paper liners.
2. Make the Streusel: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup flour, ½ cup sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until crumbly. Chill until ready to use.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1½ cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
4. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, rub 2/3 cup sugar with lemon zest, then whisk in the eggs until mixed well. Add Greek yogurt, oil, lemon juice, and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
5. Combine: Slowly fold the wet mix into the dry ingredients until just blended. Gently stir in the blueberries (except for the ½ cup saved for topping).
6. Fill the Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared liners until they’re about two-thirds full. Top with remaining blueberries and generous streusel.
7. Bake: Bake the muffins at 400°F for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 13-15 minutes until golden brown.
8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

For a fun twist, try adding a handful of chopped walnuts for crunch or swap in yogurt for a dairy-free version. If you make more than you can eat (as if!), just pop them in an airtight container. They stay fresh for up to a weekthough I doubt they’ll last that long! A little secret I learned from my aunt’s kitchen is that warming them slightly before enjoying brings back that fresh-baked feel again.
