Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients
 

  • Muffins:
  • 1 ½ cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, save ½ cup of blueberries for topping
  • For Streusel Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom
  • 7 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat & Prep: Set your oven to 400°F. Line a standard muffin or cupcake pan with paper liners and set aside.
  • Make the Crumb Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cardamom. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly. Place in the refrigerator until needed.
  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine sugar with lemon zest and rub them together for about a minute to release the citrus oils. Add the eggs and whisk until well blended. Stir in the sour cream, 1/3 cup melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and pale yellow.
  • Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Set aside 1/2 cup of blueberries for topping. Place the remaining blueberries in a small bowl, coat them with 1 tablespoon of flour, and gently fold them into the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to help the batter settle.
  • Sprinkle the reserved blueberries over the batter, then generously top each muffin with the crumb topping.
  • Place the muffins in the oven and bake at 400°F for 5 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins sit in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
