Lemon Blueberry Muffins with streusel crumb topping is the best BREAKFAST IDEA to MAKE AHEAD and grab ON THE GO on a busy morning. This EASY RECIPE with Greek yogurt makes the best, moist, homemade, bakery style muffins.
I’m sure your toddlers and even picky eaters will love these Lemon Blueberry Muffins, too. Whether you make a breakfast for your family to eat at home or pack a lunch box for school, your kids will be happy to have a few of these yummies.
Actually a mug of freshly brewed coffee and a blueberry muffin are my favorite way to start a work day.
As a matter of fact I’ve already shared blueberry muffins recipe a few years ago. That was my Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Crumbs. I’ve got so many good reviews from my readers then.They said it was the best homemade blueberry muffins recipe they have ever tried.
However, that recipe was very quick and easy. It became my go-to muffin recipe. You don’t even need a mixer for those muffins. All you have to do is to simply whisk all ingredients by hand and you’re done. The secret ingredient for perfectly moist blueberry muffins is Greek yogurt. So I used it again in this Lemon Blueberry Muffins recipe.
Although the original recipe was great I became a bit boring with it. I decided to make a little twist on my old Blueberry Muffins. I’m not a huge fan of a lemon flavor. However I added some freshly squeezed lemon juice and grated lemon zest in the batter. I was very satisfied with the result, so I’m sharing it today with you.
If you love blueberry lemon muffins I suggest you to try this quick and easy recipe with Greek yogurt. Don’t worry, if you doesn’t like Greek yogurt, you won’t taste it in the muffins. But it will keep your muffins very moist.

Lemon Blueberry Muffins with streusel crumb topping is the best BREAKFAST IDEA to MAKE AHEAD and grab ON THE GO on a busy morning.
Ingredients
For Streusel Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
- 6.5 Tablespoon unsalted butter-melted
For Lemon Blueberry Muffins:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 and 1/3 cups blueberries-fresh or frozen (reserve ½ cup of blueberries for topping)
- 1 tablespoon flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F degrees and line standard muffin or cupcake pan with paper liners and set aside.
- To make the crumb topping in a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and cinnamon, add melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To make the muffins in large bowl stir together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
- In a medium bowl place 2/3 cup granulated sugar and lemon zest and rub for a minute. Add eggs and whisk together eggs and lemon-sugar until combined. Whisk in yogurt, oil, lemon juice and vanilla extract (mixture should be pale and yellow)
- Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk everything together.
- Reserve ½ cup of blueberries for topping. Place remaining blueberries in a small bowl. Dust blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour and toss them until all blueberries are coated with thin layer of flour and then fold them really gently in the batter.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling maximum 2/3 of each cup and gently tap the pan on the work surface to set. Cover the batter with the remaining blueberries and then cover the blueberries generously with streusel topping.
- Place them in the oven and bake at 400 F for 5 minutes, then REDUCE THE OVEN TEMPERATURE TO 375 F and bake 13-15 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes in the pan then remove muffins and cool on a wire rack.

I made these today with my son, they were so easy to make and were very good! Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks Tina đŸ™‚
Just made these. Amazing! Great lemony flavor. Five stars.
Thanks Joan đŸ™‚
Made these tonight and everyone LOVED them! Had to make a second batch right away. Thx for sharing
Thanks Veronica, you’ve made my day đŸ™‚ !
Coils someone convert the cups to grams and oil and yogurt to millilitres?
★★★
Could someone convert the cups to grams and oil and yogurt to ml? Also what cups did you use. I’m from England so the US ones are usually different and I know that the measurements will have to be precise to achieve the proper results. Thanks xx
Hi Jasmine, 1 cup is 240 ml, 1 Tablespoon is 15 ml and 1 teaspoon is 5 ml. 1 cup of flour is about 125 grams, 1 cup of sugar is 200 grams, 1 Tbsp. butter is 14-15 grams.
Thank you. I bought some measuring cups now so can I measure the liquids using the cups or do I need a Pyrex liquid measuring glass? X
[…] However, if you are a lemon lover, then you will love this cake. If you need more lemon recipes check this Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins or Lemon Blueberry Muffins. […]
5 stars! Always a crowd pleaser. My daughter and i run a B&B and this is one of the first things we run out of when the breakfast is served. A prominent chef owing three restaurants in Toronto said “These muffins are exquisite” and they are. Thank you! đŸ™‚
Thank you so much, Dragana đŸ™‚
Can I use whole wheat flour?
[…] make them for me again. If you can handle turning the oven on in this heat, give this recipe from Oh My Goodness Desserts a […]
I really liked this recipe, but did not taste the lemon flavor. So the next time I replaced the vanilla with 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract and there it was! I also increased the blueberry to 2 cups. The recipe made a dozen cupcake sized muffins and 2 jumbo muffins. One other thing I did was to decrease the butter in the strusuel to 6 tablespoons as that was perfect in my opinion. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
Thanks Donna !
Made these and loved them. Full of blueberries and a little lemon flavor. Will keep using this recipe.
Thanks Christine đŸ™‚

Thanks Jen!

Thanks Kathie!
Awesome muffins! I halved the recipe because I had only half the ingredients on hand. Also, I only had cream cheese instead of Greek yogurt on hand, so I substituted that and added more lemon juice to thin out the cream cheese. They were fantastic! I want to make them again with the yogurt next time. Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks Beth!

I came across your sight while looking for blueberry muffins. Your recipe sounded so yummy with the streusel topping I decided to stir up a batch right away. I’m sure you’re not surprised to hear that they tasted wonderful! I really am very pleased to find a recipe that is easy to make, flavor is wonderful, moist texture, nice large size; just perfect to serve my guests (if there’s any left after my hubby and I pig out!!) Thank you so much!!
Thanks Carol!
Can you substitute something else in place of the Greek yogurt?
Hi Robyn, you can use sour ream instead.
I absolutely love your recipe! I’ve made it yesterday for the first time and I can assure you I’ll be making your muffins for as long as I can cook! Thank you for shearing.

Can I substitute blueberry Greek yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?
I’m in the middle of trying to make these and the recipe has disappeared. How much lemon juice does this call for?
2 tablespoons
★★★★★
Can you make them in the little cupcake tins? (maid of honor) How long would they bake?
I made these muffins Gluten and Diary Free – Holy WOW! They were delicious. Subbed Earths Balance for butter, Bobs Red Mill flour and Vanilla Almond Yogurt for the Greek yogurt. I can’t believe how good they are! Thanks for the recipe!
★★★★★
I am so glad someone commented aboht making these gluten free. My sister-in-law is gluten free so i love making goodies for her!! I can’t wait to make these.
These are fantastic! My son loves blueberry lemon and I wanted to make a treat for his birthday breakfast. He ate these muffins up. I did add a little more lemon zest/juice for a stronger lemon flavor, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. Thanks for sharing!
★★★★★
Thanks Susan!
Great recipe! I don’t typically bake so followed the recipe to a tea but it was for a potluck so increased it by 1.5x. They turned out delicious! My only comment was the cooking time was more like 25-30 minutes but that could be because I have a new oven that I’m unfamiliar with. Everyone loved them.
Do they freeze well?
Wow! These are probably the best thing I have ever baked! My daughter helped me and we are enjoying eating them all, thank you!

Thanks Devin!
Can I use butter instead vege oil?
You can use melted butter but oil makes them moister.
I am going to try these later today. They look Wonderful! Think I could put them in a loaf? How long would they bake do you think?
I went ahead and made them as muffins and they turned out great. I don’t like to use the paper liners for muffins, because I like the “crust” that develops when you just grease your muffin tins and that worked out well. They were a big hit with my Sunday School class.
