# Step-by-Step:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with butter.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs, yogurt, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix—small lumps are acceptable.
05 - Gently fold in blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
07 - In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work butter into the mixture until coarse crumbs form.
08 - Sprinkle streusel mixture evenly over the top of each muffin.
09 - Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
10 - Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • Toss frozen blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before adding to keep them from sinking to the bottom

03 -
