Ingredients

• for the muffins:
• 3/4 cup sugar
• zest of one lemon
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
• for the streusel:
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 5 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
• 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray. In a large bowl, rub the lemon zest into the sugar until the mixture is fragrant. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix to combine. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the oil, egg, milk, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries. Scoop into the prepared muffin tin, filling 3/4 full.

To make the topping, whisk together sugar, flour, and cinnamon with a fork. Cut in butter using a fork or your fingers to form crumbly mixture. Sprinkle over the top of the muffins. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
