Tips:

  • For the best streusel topping, use a combination of brown sugar, white sugar, flour, and butter. The brown sugar will add a slightly caramelized flavor, while the white sugar will add sweetness. The flour will help to bind the streusel together, and the butter will add a rich flavor.
  • To make sure the muffins are moist and fluffy, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour. The all-purpose flour will provide structure, while the cake flour will make the muffins more tender.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crisp streusel topping and a moist interior.

Conclusion:

Streusel-topped lemon-blueberry muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your muffins turn out perfect every time.
