Ingredients
 

For The Muffins

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour, Spooned and levelled
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
  • ½ cup Sour cream, Room temperature
  • ½ cup Buttermilk, Room temperature
  • 2 Eggs, Room temperature
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 1 tablespoon Butter, Melted
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Blueberry , Fresh, see notes

For The Streusel

  • ⅓ cup Brown sugar, Packed
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • ⅓ cup Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions
 

How To Make The Blueberry Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F, and line the muffin pan with the liner. Line the pan in an alternate order. Leave one empty cavity between the muffin liners.
  • Whisk all the dry ingredients together. Set aside.
    2 cups All-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon Baking powder, 1 teaspoon Baking soda, ½ teaspoon Salt
  • Add the orange zest to the sugar and massage it with your fingertips to release the orange aroma from the zest. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix.
    1 cup Sugar, 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
  • Whisk the sour cream, buttermilk, eggs, oil, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl using a hand whisk or a fork.
    ½ cup Sour cream, 2 Eggs, ¼ cup oil, 1 tablespoon Butter, 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract, ½ cup Buttermilk
  • Add the dry ingredients to the above mixture and mix until no trace of flour is seen.
  • Fold in the blueberries and mix gently.
    2 cups Blueberry
  • Leave the batter on the counter for 10-15 minutes. This contributes to a fuller and domed-shape muffin top.
  • Scoop the batter into the muffin cups and fill them to the top. Cover the tops of the muffins with the topping streusel and bake for 25 minutes or until an insert comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.

How To Make The Streusel

  • Put the butter pieces in a bowl and add the brown sugar and the flour. Mix them together with your fingertips or a fork. We do not want an even mixture; the mixture should have a crumbly texture.
    ⅓ cup Brown sugar, 2 tablespoon Butter, ⅓ cup Flour, ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Notes

  • If using frozen blueberries, DO NOT THAW THEM. Thawed blueberries will bleed into the batter and will darken the muffins.
