How to make Blueberry Lemon Muffins

To make these muffins you’ll need some basic kitchen equipment. Two bowls, a large measuring cup, spatula, fork, measuring cups & spoons, and a muffin pan are all that’s required to whip up these simple and delicious muffins.

• First up, make the crumb topping by combining all ingredients into a small bowl. Use your fingers to mix in the butter until a crumbly texture is formed. Set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, combine the sugar and lemon zest and again use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar, releasing natural oils and extra flavor. Mix in remaining dry ingredients.
• Use a fork to whisk together all of the wet ingredients in a large glass measuring cup.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and use a spatula to mix just until everything is combined.
• Gently fold in the rinsed and dried blueberries.
• Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups and generously add the crumb topping over every muffin.
• Bake until golden and the muffins spring back when lightly touched.

Tips for perfect muffins

When it comes to baked goods, muffins are among the easiest to make. But that does not mean that you can’t run into problems along the way. Here are a few tips to help you achieve the perfect blueberry lemon muffins:

• Check over all the berries and pick out any stems, leaves, or berries that may have gone bad. This may seem obvious but you never know when there’s a hidden bad berry in the batch.
• Don’t over mix the batter. You might see this tip in almost every post, but it’s worth noting again and again. Over mixing can lead to dry and dense muffins. We want to keep these light, moist and fluffy, so only mix until no dry streaks of flour remain. A few remaining lumps in the batter is OK.
• Rub the lemon zest and sugar together between your fingers to maximize the lemon flavor. This releases the natural oils in the lemon zest, infusing the sugar with extra lemon flavor.
• Be generous with the crumb topping. Use every last drop of the crumb topping and really cover each muffin top to the max. You can never have enough of that crunchy sugary goodness.
