HOW TO MAKE MUFFINS
Follow these steps to make this recipe:
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a muffin pan with muffin liners.
- Make the streusel topping – Add the flour, salt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Stir the ingredients together to combine, then add the butter and using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until a crumbly topping forms. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Mix the dry ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Mix the wet ingredients – In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, sugar, lemon juice, zest, vanilla extract, and the vegetable oil.
- Combine wet and dry – Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir until well combined.
- Add the blueberries – Fold in the blueberries, then fill the muffin pan with the batter and top with the streusel.
- Bake – Bake the muffins in a preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
PRO TIPS FOR THIS RECIPE
- Use room-temperature dairy and eggs. I always take out my eggs, milk, and other dairy ahead of time to bring them to room temperature to ensure that they are not too cold before adding them to the batter.
- Use frozen blueberries. This recipe works well using fresh and frozen blueberries, so if you can’t find fresh blueberries, head over to the frozen foods section. Frozen blueberries allow you to enjoy this recipe all year long!
- Measure the flour correctly. It’s important to add the correct amount of flour by weighing it with a kitchen scale, preferably. If you do not own a kitchen scale, be sure to fluff up the flour in its container, spoon it into the measuring cup, and level the top.
- Make it gluten-free. To make this recipe gluten-free, swap the all-purpose flour for gluten-free flour of choice.
