Elevate Your Morning Routine

Imagine starting your day with a freshly baked blueberry muffin, bursting with flavor and topped with a crunchy streusel topping. Paired with a rich cold brew coffee, this breakfast combo is the perfect way to kick-start your morning.

The Secret to Success

What sets this recipe apart is the generous helping of fresh blueberries and the addition of a streusel topping, made with melted butter, vanilla, and a blend of sugars. This sweet and savory combination creates a truly unforgettable muffin experience.

Gather Your Ingredients

To make these mouthwatering muffins, you’ll need:

• 17 essential ingredients, including unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and fresh blueberries
• A pinch of kosher salt and a teaspoon of vanilla extract for added depth of flavor
• A cup of sour cream to ensure moisture and tenderness

Prepare Your Oven and Muffin Tins

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line 12 standard muffin cups with paper liners or grease with cooking spray. This will ensure easy removal and a beautifully presented muffin.

Create the Streusel Topping

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, vanilla extract, and a blend of sugars. Stir until evenly blended and crumbly. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.

Mix and Fold the Batter

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together butter, sugar, and lemon zest until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla, then add sour cream and mix until well combined. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

Assemble and Bake the Muffins

Heap the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them full. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffins, pressing it down gently to adhere. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let Them Cool and Enjoy!

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy the perfect breakfast treat!
