These Lemon Blueberry Muffins with streusel crumb topping are the best breakfast to make ahead and grab on a busy morning. This easy muffin recipe with Greek yogurt makes moist, homemade bakery-style muffins.

Lemon Blueberry Breakfast 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.

Description

These Lemon Blueberry Muffins with streusel crumb topping are the best breakfast to make ahead and grab on a busy morning. This easy muffin recipe with Greek yogurt makes moist, homemade bakery-style muffins.


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

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F degrees and line standard muffin or cupcake pan with paper liners and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. To make the muffins in large bowl stir together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
  4. 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)
  5. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk everything together.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan then remove muffins and cool on a wire rack.

These were good. But my husband and I did figure out we are lemony flavored people so the lack of lemon was not ok for us. Also the cook time was not quite right. But that could be just different ovens possibly. They definitely took longer than 13-15 min. We also thought they were a bit bland and needed more sugar. What I did love though was the addition of Greek yogurt. So I will definitely make these again and tweet the recipe a bit to fit our taste buds. 😋

These muffins came out perfectly. Moist but not dense. And so flavorful, nice balance between the lemon and blueberry. The baking times were spot on. The only change I made was to substitute 1/2 cup of quick oats for 1/2 cup of the flour in the streusel. This is the way I make my topping for my apple pie so I thought I would do the same for these. But I think the recipe is pretty perfect as is and the next time I make it I’ll try it without the oats. Because there definitely will be a next time!

I’ve made these several times and this is my favorite blueberry muffin recipe!
The only thing I changed was cutting the streusel recipe in half, while still using the full muffin recipe. I found half the amount of streusel to be plenty.
PS, I live at 8000’ elevation and did not adjust the recipe for high altitude baking. The muffins turned out perfectly- big and fluffy and light.

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.

Km August 22, 2021 - 9:29 pm

No idea how you got a total of 18-20 minutes. Pulled out after a total of 20 min (starting at 400 and bringing down to 375 after 5 min) and it was no where near done! Smells good tho!

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!

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!

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.

So… I am not a baker. I thought I had everything I needed. Okay, so keep in mind my fiasco is happening WHILE I’m mixing ingredients and doing the recipe 1 step at a time.. Because I’m not smart enough to read ahead and get everything together before hand ?Ran out of flour so I wound up using 1/2 while wheat and 1/2 gluten free…. K no biggie.. Only had enough left for a quarter of what I needed for the strousel topping (so only 6 muffins got the topping, NBD but glad I decided to slip that step and do it last or I would have not had enough flour for the muffins. I don’t buy the oil this recipe calls for… Nbd I assume I can sub with coconut oil- but I decide to warm the oil so it wasn’t hard which reduced it to like half the amiunt of when it was hardened. Now I’m confused–do I use this amount or do I need the full 1/3 cup while it’s liquid… Lol idk. Mix everything together… Batter seems super thick so I decided that I screwed up the oil. Threw some more in and a bit of olive oil cuz… Idk why not. I get all the way to the end… Things are looking good…. I pop them in the oven. I look over… The lemon I zested is not cut in half… That’s weird because the recipe calls for lemon juice… Right? FML. Any way, they are cooling now and they look amazing. This was a SUPER easy recipe but I have the tendency to just fly by the seed of my pants ?? I’m sure they will still taste good.

i have been looking to recreate the original starbucks blueberry lemon honey yogurt muffin recipe with the streusel topping since they switched to a different recipe – and these are not the same . . . they are SO MUCH BETTER!!! We are in the middle of a pandemic so believe it or not i couldn’t find vegetable oil, so i substituted applesauce. But followed the rest of the recipe exactly (oh except I added a tablespoon of honey with the applesauce) and they are freakin’ delicious!!! #keeper

Looking to make this today. I only have vanilla greek yogurt and don’t have any lemons for lemon zest (gonna have to use the “bottled” lemon juice). So I’m thinking to leave out the vanilla extract (since I’ll be using vanilla yogurt) and increase the lemon juice to maybe 3TBS since I don’t have zest. Hoping it works! Oh, the other thing I want to try is using raw sugar for the topping instead of granulated. Starbucks uses that on theirs and I love the extra crunch it gives.

Reply
Lisa Gee May 13, 2020 - 8:26 pm

These were super delicious and light. I used fresh blueberries. I halved the streusel topping. I substituted 1/2 cup AP flour with almond flour. Also I did tweet it to reduce some fats though. I use applesauce 1/3 cup in lieu of the vegetable oil. It could have been a tad sweeter but none the less very good. By the way, if you try to print the recipe, please check that ALL the ingredients show up. I tried to print to a PDF and didn’t realize the lemon juice and extract was missing from the PDF.

You can use sour cream or vanilla Greek yogurt.

LOVE these muffins! Can the batter be frozen? Or what’s the best way to freeze this recipe to ensure freshest outcome. I’m looking to prepare ahead and freeze for easy on the spot baking!

Definitely a ‘home run’ recipe! Gorgeous presentation and wonderfully moist texture with crunchy streusel topping. I folded extra blueberries in the batter and to be sure the lemon flavor came through, I added a half teaspoon of lemon extract besides the vanilla. Yum!

Hi I was wondering what is lemon-sugar? It is #4 on your instructions and I’m a bit confused. I would appreciate the help.

I was crawing for a while for blueberry muffins, I just made your recipe today and I can only say OMG, they were just amazing .I like the lemon zest touch as its perfect for the ones who don t like blueberries , and love the streusel part for me, so I can perfectly please everyone here with a mix of 3 different muffins on a 12 baking tray. Thanks for the lovely recipe its definitely a home run recipe.

This is THE best Lemon Blueberry muffin recipe! I came across it on our last batch of fresh blueberries for the year. Guess I will use frozen berries for the first time since we will be making these regularly! Only change was lemon yogurt—out of plain. So moist and luscious! Thank you very much,
Joy

Ohhh! So yummy! Vera, I loved these muffins. They had fantastic flavor and great lemon taste. The topping was very good too. My younger siblings all loved the batter too! Thanks so much for sharing.? I look forward to making your pumpkin desserts too, that’s my real weakness 😉

These taste delicious, but are not pretty. I wouldn’t pick them out in a bakery – they never puffed up at all (very flat). “Settled” the batter in the muffin tin (which I thought was odd) per instructions, but think that might’ve had an impact on the rising ability. I’ll give the bread version a try.

Is there a big difference when using fresh and frozen blueberries?

These are super amazing !! My son and I have “Muffin Fridays” while my husband and daughter ate at work /school and we both love these, we make them almost every Friday now!!! The one thing I decided to do different was using brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter in my topping (it’s the same I do on my apple pies and I love it) !! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe

They were excellent. Light and fluffy. I used coconut yogurt instead of plain. I also cut the topping in half, I find the original amount was way to much. Definitely make and pass around recipe to friends and family.

I have made many streusal muffins. This was by far the best one I have ever made! I sifted the flour.
This muffin was perfect and delicious. My husband gave one to his co worker and he was raving over it!
Absolutely a keeper. Bakery style quality for sure!

Best blueberry muffins I have ever made. Light and moist with a great lemon flavor. I did make a few changes instead of vegetable oil I used melted butter and we didn’t have any Greek yogurt so my husband made some creme fraiche and I used that instead . So good!

I don’t use the cupcake liners, just butter the pans. It helps the strudel topping stick better. I have made these several times and they have always turned out perfect. I make them for gifts to folks who are sick, new neighbors, etc. Everyone raves about them. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Didn’t read every single comment, and maybe it was just me, but I printed out this recipe twice and both times the 1/3 c. veg. oil, the 1 tsp. of vanilla extract and the 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice were deleted from the print out. I knew it because the recipe referred to those ingredients, but they weren’t on the printed recipe. I went back online and looked those three ingredients up and handwrote them on my printed recipe. I’m ready now to put them in the oven. I’m sure I’m going to love them.

Love this recipe. I put 2 cups of blueberries. Splash of lemon extract in batter, almond extract in the crumble. My apartment smells amazing! Pinning this Ms. Lady!! Thanks for sharing.

Ah… I forgot to mention, I made it gluten free. AP flour. Nice

I made these this morning with my 6yo for as long as it held her interest. Lol. I used gf all-purpose flour (Great Value brand from Walmart) and substituted coconut oil for the vegetable oil. I also sprayed the muffin pan and didn’t use papers. These came out picture perfect! The texture was no different than using regular flour (I know because I usually use regular flour but we’re starting an elimination diet of gluten per GI dr suggestion). My 6yo loved it and savored it. My 1yo devoured hers and was tantruming hard core for more. ? Thank you for this delicious and springtime flavor muffin recipe. LOVED IT!!!

This will be my new favorite recipe for blueberry muffins. They came out perfectly, not too dense with great flavor. The crumb top was perfect and easy to make. I used lemon yogurt because that’s what I had in the refrigerator. ****

What is the best way to store these? I’ll be baking them today for an event I have tomorrow. Refrigerated or room temp in an airtight container?

I bake quite often so I know what I’m doing in the baking department but this recipe is not accurate. The bake time is way off! I’ve made a lemon blueberry bread before and these muffins don’t taste like it should. Not using this recipe again.

Wow, these muffins are more than amazing. We eat breakfast out every weekend and at one place we go they make lemon blueberry bars that we buy for $3.95 a square which we split. The lemon flavor is barely there, but they are still tasty, these muffins beat them hands down, so no more spending on a single bar when I can make these so easily and we can taste all of the flavors in them. Thanks for sharing such an amazing recipe.

These were great! I was out of yogurt so put some soured milk and added a tablespoon of flour. Very tasty will be making these again!
