Ingredients
 

Streusel Topping

  • ¼ Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • ¼ Cup White Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • ¼ Cup Cold Butter

Muffins

  • ¼ Cup Safflower Oil
  • ⅓ Cup Granulated White Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 3 Teaspoons Lemon Zest
  • 2 Cups Sifted Flour
  • 3 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoons Salt
  • 1 Cup Blueberries, Divided (¾ Cup for Batter, ~¼ Cup Reserved for Top of Muffins)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a medium-sized muffin pan with 12 cupcake/muffin liners. Use liners made of parchment paper or aluminum foil for the easiest release of the muffin from the liner. If liners are not available, grease the bottoms of each muffin cup and let the muffins cool completely in the pan before removing them.

Streusel Topping:

  • In a small bowl mix together brown sugar, granulated white sugar, flour, and lemon zest with a fork. Cut in the butter until mixture looks like medium grain rice. Set aside for later.

Muffins:

  • Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Reserve one tablespoon of flour mixture.
  • In a separate small bowl combine ¾ cup blueberries with the reserved 1 tablespoon of flour mixture. Set aside the dredged blueberries.
  • In a medium sized bowl beat together oil, sugar, egg, milk, and lemon zest with a fork.
  • Add the flour mixture all at once into the wet ingredients. Using a rubber spatula gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients but mix only until batter is barely mixed. Streaks and clumps of flour/dough should still be visible.
  • Gently fold the dredged blueberries into the batter.
  • Fill baking cups ½ full. Top the center of each muffin with the reserved blueberries and follow with the streusel topping. Bake in the oven 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are slightly golden brown.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing and transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

•  All ingredients should be at room temperature. Since the batter will continue to be mixed when the blueberries are added, it is important not to overmix the batter before their addition.
•  Lemon pairs deliciously with blueberries. But, if you do not have a lemon on hand to zest, you can omit the lemon zest from the batter and substitute 1 tablespoon of cinnamon for the lemon zest in the streusel topping.
•  Some bakers add ½ teaspoon of vanilla to the batter for extra richness of flavor.
•  When adding blueberries to the top of the muffins, be sure to add them away from the edges of the baking cups. Blueberries near the edge of the pan or liner may burst and make it more difficult to remove the muffins from the pan and liners.
•  Muffins are best eaten day of bake. But can be stored in an airtight container up to 3 days. Gently warming muffins will bring out the flavor, if serving them in the days after the bake.
