Instructions
Blueberry Lemon Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-count muffin tin with liners.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the sugar, butter, sour cream, egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until creamy. (You could also use a handheld mixer.)
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- With the mixer on low, alternate between adding the flour mixture and the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the lined muffin cups. Set aside as you make the crumble.
Crumble Topping
- To make the crumble topping, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and melted butter in a small bowl.
- Top the muffin batter with the crumble topping (about 1 tablespoon per muffin).
- Bake for 18-20 minutes. The muffins are done when an inserted toothpick comes out clean with a few crumbs, but no wet batter. Let the cupcakes cool before drizzling the glaze.
Glaze (Optional and Not Pictured)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and water. Add more water until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cool muffins.
