Instructions
 

Muffin Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon zest and beat for 1 minute.
  • Add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla, and beat for 1 minute until mostly combined.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients, milk, and lemon juice and beat until no flour pockets remain. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups, filling them all the way to the top.

Crumb Topping and Baking

  • In a small bowl, mix all of the crumb topping ingredients together.
  • Spoon topping evenly on top of each muffin cup, gently pressing it down. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 18–19 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Freezing Instructions: Freeze baked & cooled muffins for up to 3 months. Thaw before enjoying. Warm up in the microwave if desired.
