So the other day we were lucky to have our friends come and stay with us on their way out to go on a cruise. However, they had to leave at around 5:00 in the morning. For anyone who knows me, I DO NOT wake up that early. Not for anyone, doesn't matter who you are! I love ya, but it's just not right in my mind to be up that early! :) So in order for them to have some sort of breakfast on their way out the door in the morning I made some muffins that they could grab if they wanted. I decided to go with lemon blueberry. Mmmm....lemon and blueberry! Sooooo goooood!!!!
I had heard or read somewhere that someone used dried blueberries in their muffins so I decided to give it a go. I ended up liking using the dry because I didn't have to be as careful folding them in so my batter wouldn't turn purple, but they still gave plenty of flavor.
So here is the recipe I went with adapted from gimmesomeoven.com
Ingredients
- streusel topping (see ingredients below)
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (I used dried)
- 2 cups + 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 7 Tbsp. milk
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. loosely-packed lemon zest
- (I added a few drops of doTerra's lemon oil to the batter as well)
- 2 Tbsp. melted butter, slightly cooled
- 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup raw sugar ( i didn't have raw sugar so I just used all granulated and I thought they turned out fine)
- (I also added a little lemon zest to the tops fo the muffins when the came out of the oven)
