Blueberry-Lemon Streusel Muffins
I know I’ve been on a lemon kick lately, but I just can’t help myself. As I mentioned in my Lemon Bread post, they just speak SPRING to me!
And since the weather isn’t cooperating,(It’s 31 and gloomy outside) I’ve decided to add a little sunshine into my baking and even my decor- with these bright and cheerful darlings!
For me, there is no better pairing to the tartness of a lemon, then the burst of sweetness that can only come from fresh blueberries!
Well, except maybe a buttery-crumble topping!
Or a sweet lemony glaze.
MMM…now that’s just pure perfection!
I can’t believe I haven’t made these scrumptious muffins in years, but when I started planning my weekend brunch menu, I knew they would be the perfect sweet complement to my savory egg bake.
Unfortunately, I have stacks and stacks of cookbooks, and because I am probably the most unorganized person in the world, I had no clue which one this YUMMY recipe was in!
You can about imagine the look on hubby’s face when he came home from work last night, and found me on the living room floor, surrounded by all those cookbooks!!!
By that time, I was almost an hour into my search, and still hadn’t found the recipe!
The good news is I found a whole passel of recipes I’d totally forgotten about while I was searching and even better……
After another thirty minutes (with hubby’s help), I FINALLY found the recipe for Blueberry-Lemon Streusel Muffins!
Woo! Hoo!
I suppose one of these days I’ll have to get all my recipes organized.
But for now, I’ve put this one in a very safe place-because I plan to make these glorious bites of sunshine many more times this Spring!
I hope you enjoy these Blueberry-Lemon Streusel Muffins!

Thank you, Marilyn! I LOVE this party! I always find so many YUMMY new recipes!
It’s so frustrating to not be able to find a recipe. I’m so glad you located this one though – I love anything lemony, and the glaze on these would put them right over the top of yumminess … speaking of which, I just Yummed the recipe!
It sure is, Susan! I really need to get all of mine organized! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!
These look absolutely perfect! The only thing that could make them any better is if they just magically showed up on my doorstep. But since that’s probably not going to happen, I’ve pinned the recipe so I can try it myself. 🙂
LOL, Meredith! I wish we lived that close, I would drop off a basket for sure! Thank you so much for sharing and stopping by! Hope you are having a great week!
Just curious…these muffins are called a lemom blueberry muffin…but the blueberries seem to be absent from the ingredient list and directions. Am I missing something? And the butter that is supposed to be beat with the sugar…how much?
That’s a big Whoops-a-daisy, Heather! My apologies! I have updated the recipe in the post-but it’s 2 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries-and 1/2 cup of softened butter. Thank you so much for catching that! Blessings!
Oh, my! These sound incredible. I’m pinning right now…
I followed you here from the Wednesday Blog Hop on Tornadough Alli’s site. I hope you’ll visit me at Life With Dee. Have a beautiful day!
Thank you so much, Deanna! I will definitely stop by your blog for a visit!!
