Description

Bakery-style Lemon Blueberry Streusel Muffins with Lemon Glaze—soft, moist, and bursting with fresh berries and citrus flavor. Topped with a buttery streusel and finished with a tangy lemon glaze, they’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or sweet snacking.


Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix streusel flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture becomes coarse crumbs. Chill while you prepare the batter.

2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.

5. Add the wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir gently until just combined.

6. Carefully fold in blueberries using a rubber spatula.

7. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling 3/4 full.

8. Sprinkle streusel topping generously over each muffin.

9. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in tin 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

10. Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice into a glaze and drizzle over cooled muffins before serving.

Notes

Chill the streusel mixture while prepping the batter to help it stay crumbly during baking.

Don’t overmix the batter—just stir until the flour disappears for a tender crumb.

Add the glaze only after muffins are completely cool to avoid it melting and disappearing.
