Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin pan
  • Parchment Paper Muffin Liners
  • Citrus Juicer
  • Citrus Zester

Ingredients
  

Lemon Blueberry Muffins

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt (I use fine sea salt)
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • ½ cup butter (melted & cooled)
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2 lemons, zest before juicing)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • cups fresh blueberries (washed & patted dry)

Streusel Topping

  • 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper muffin liners or lightly spray with cooking spray. Set the muffin tin aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until blended.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, sour cream, melted butter, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until mixed thoroughly.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until the wet ingredients are blended and smooth.
  • Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, and mix just until combined and no flour streaks remain in the batter. Do not overmix.
  • Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Be careful not to burst open the blueberries. Let the muffin batter sit while you prepare the streusel topping.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until mixed. Slowly add in the flour, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, and mix gently with a fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
  • Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with muffin batter. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of the prepared crumb topping evenly over the top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature (about 20 minutes).
  • Once the muffins are cool, whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the muffins. Enjoy!

Notes

I make the recipe using salted butter + ½ teaspoon sea salt. You can use unsalted butter, but you may want to increase the salt to ¾ teaspoon or 1 teaspoon (depending on preference). Wash the blueberries, pick out the bad ones, and then use paper towels to gently pat them dry before adding into the muffin batter.
