Bakery Style Lemon Blueberry Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Combine sugar, milk, sour cream, butter, eggs, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until blended. Fold in the flour mixture until batter is just moistened. Fold in blueberries; avoid overmixing because batter will turn purple.
• Fill muffin cups 3/4 full of batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 12-muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Put the butter in a microwaveable-safe dish or measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively melt the butter in a saucepan.) Whisk the milk, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla with the butter.
• Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will be dense. Gently stir in the blueberries. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin and sprinkle the tops generously with sugar.
• Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• For the crumb: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray two standard muffin tins with nonstick spray and line 16 of the tins with muffin liners.
• Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Add the flour and mix until completely blended and crumbly, then set aside.
• For the muffins: Sift together the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients to combine, then make a well in the center.
• Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, oil, buttermilk and vanilla in a separate bowl. Pour the liquid ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients, then fold together with a spatula just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Don't overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries. Some may break, and that is okay.
• Use a 2-ounce scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup to portion heaping scoops of batter into each lined muffin cavity. Top each muffin with about 2 tablespoons of crumb, gently pushing the crumb in place.
• Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out with a few moist crumbs, about 25 minutes. (You may need to push some of the crumb aside to test the muffins.) Cool for 5 to 10 minutes in the muffin tin, then move to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
