TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Our friend Casie is back, showing us a recipe she enjoys making with fresh blueberries. We can’t wait to make them with East Texas blueberries this summer!

Lemon-blueberry muffins with cinnamon streusel

Ingredients:

Streusel Topping

- 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour

- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar

- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter

Lemon Blueberry Muffins

- 2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour

- 1 tbsp Baking Powder

- 1 tsp Baking Soda

- 2 Large Eggs, room temperature

- 1 cup Granulated Sugar

- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter

- 1/2 tsp Lemon Zest

- 3 tbsp Lemon Juice

- 1 cup Buttermilk or Plain Yogurt

- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract

- 2 cups Blueberries or Raspberries

Instructions:

Streusel Topping

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.

2. Add in melted butter and mix until small crumbles form. Set aside.

Lemon Blueberry Muffins

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a standard size muffin tin with liners, if not using liners make sure to spray the pan with a non-stick cooking spray before continuing.

2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together the all purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

3. In a separate medium sized mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, granulated sugar, melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Then add in the buttermilk and vanilla extract.

4. Using a spatula, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture stirring until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries. Note: Coating the blueberries in flour will help them to not sink to the bottom during cooking.

5. Using a small cooking scoop, evenly divide the batter into the muffin liners, filling them 2/3 of the way full. Top with any extra blueberries and the streusel.

6. Bake for 18-20 minutes at 400F or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. When done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing the muffins from the tin.

7. The Streusel Lemon Blueberry Muffins are best served still warm with a little butter, but are equally just as good completely cooled.
