Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Ingredients

• For the muffins:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups blueberries
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2/3 cups sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons melted
• 1/2 vanilla extract
• For the streusel topping:
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

Directions

1. Move the oven rack to the middle of the oven, then heat it to 400 degrees F. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and blueberries to a large mixing bowl, and whisk so the berries are coated and the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Use another bowl for the eggs, sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla. Stir them together, pour this mixture into the flour mixture, and fold softly until there are no dry pockets; the batter should still be bumpy.
3. For the streusel, add the butter to a small bowl along with the flour, sugar, and lemon rind. Work everything together with your fingertips until it turns into a paste.
4. Prepare the muffin tin with butter, non-stick cooking spray, or muffin liners. Spoon in the batter, portioning it among the cups and filling each about 2/3 full.
5. Scatter the streusel over the muffins, then bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick poked into a muffin comes back clean.
