Ingredients
  • Fresh blueberry - 275 gms (2 cups)
  • All-purpose flour/Refined flour - 390 gms (3 cups)
  • Granulated white sugar - 200 gms (1 cup)
  • Baking powder - 2 & ½ tsp
  • Salt - ½ tsp
  • Cinnamon powder - ⅛ tsp
  • Lemon zest - 1 tsp, freshly grated
  • Unsalted butter - 113 gms (½ cup), cold and cut into small chunks + 28 gms (2 tbsp), melted
  • Egg - 2, large
  • Milk - 1 cup (240 ml)
  • Pure vanilla extract - 1 tsp
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180 C / 350 F and place the wire rack at the center of the oven. Also line a 12-cup muffin tray with cupcake paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs with milk and vanilla extract.
  3. In another large mixing bowl, whisk the flour with the sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  4. Transfer the cold cubes of butter to the flour mixture and cut them into the flour with a pastry blender or your fingertips. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.
  5. When you are happy with the dry mixture, remove one cup, about 150 grams, of the mixture and set aside in a separate bowl to make the streusel topping later.
  6. To the remaining flour mixture, gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest. Try not to break the blueberries.
  7. Now add the milk and egg mixture to the flour mixture and using a spatula gently stir everything until just combined and there is no dry flour left. Make sure to scrap the bottom of the mixing bowl.*
  8. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the batter using two spoons or an ice cream scoop.
How to make Streusel Topping:
  1. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave. Then stir it into the reserved one cup of flour mixture until it is crumbly.
  2. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the streusel on top of each muffin.
  3. Bake the blueberry streusel muffins for about 23 - 25 minutes or until firm and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  4. Remove the muffins from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool down.
  5. Serve these delightful muffins warm. Store the leftover muffins in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  6. Enjoy these homemade blueberry streusel muffins to start your new year on a sweet note!
Notes
*Note: Do not over mix this mixture as that may lead to tough muffins when baked.
