Best Blueberry Muffins

Another recipe I made today - blueberry muffins with streusel topping. These are really delicious, and Tom has been known to eat an entire batch (12 muffins) in a day!

Ingredients:



Muffin:
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
Streusel:
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line muffin tin with muffin papers
  • Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture
  • Combine egg, milk, and oil; stir well. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened (important - do not overmix, or the muffins will be tough)
  • Combine blueberries, 1 tablespoon flour, and 1 tablespoon sugar, tossing gently to coat. Fold blueberry mixture into batter
  • Spoon batter into lined muffin pans, filling two-thirds full
  • Combine 1/4 cup sugar, 2 1/2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon; cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over batter
  • Bake for 18 minutes or until golden. Remove from pans immediately
  • Yield: 12 muffins
