Blueberry Streusel Muffins 🫐
I made these the other day. And they were so moist and delicious! 😍. Quick and easy to make with a few simple ingredients.
Muffin Ingredients:
▢ Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Mix Pack
▢ 2 tbsps AP Flour
▢ 1/2 Cup Milk
▢ 1 Tbsp Lemon Extract
▢ 1/4 cup Crisco Shortening
Streusel Ingredients:
▢ ½ cup all-purpose flour
▢ ½ cup granulated sugar
▢ 4-6 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
▢ ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze Icing:
▢ Milk
▢ Powdered Sugar
Streusel Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon. Slowly drizzle the butter into the bowl while stirring the crumbs with a fork. You can start with 3-4 tbsps and add more as needed until the crumbs form. Do not over mix! (you do not want this to become like a dough).
2. Then, store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Muffin Mix Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F (or 375°F for nonstick pan). Place paper baking cups in 6 regular-size muffin cups (for best results), or grease bottoms only of muffin cups.
2. Add muffin mix, flour, milk, lemon extract and Crisco shortening and mix together until well blended. Scoop about 2/3 batter into each cup. Then, top off with the streusel.
3. Bake 17 to 22 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Carefully remove from pan. Transfer them to cooling rack. If muffins are not in paper baking cups, run knife around sides before removing.
Make the glaze icing. If you want a light, thinner icing then use less powdered sugar. If you want a thicker icing, then use less milk. Then, drizzle over each muffin.

Blueberry streusel muffins are a delightful treat that combines the wholesome goodness of blueberries with a buttery, sweet streusel topping. These muffins are not only easy to prepare, but they also offer a versatile option for breakfast or dessert. To achieve the perfect texture, it's essential to mix the muffin batter just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins that lack the desired fluffiness. The use of lemon extract adds a refreshing twist, brightening the flavor profile and enhancing the blueberries' natural sweetness. When it comes to baking, preheating your oven is crucial for an even rise. Opting for paper liners or lightly greasing your muffin cups ensures easy removal after baking. For an extra burst of flavor, consider folding in some lemon zest or using fresh blueberries instead of a mix. Once baked, let your muffins cool on a wire rack to avoid sogginess. The glaze icing adds a beautiful sheen and a touch of sweetness. Adjust the thickness by varying the milk and powdered sugar ratio to suit your preference as a light drizzle or a thicker coat. These muffins aren’t just delicious; they also make for great gifts or snacks to share with friends. With their vibrant color and tempting aroma, blueberry streusel muffins can easily become a family favorite. Perfect for any occasion, they’re sure to impress anyone who takes a bite!
They look so yummy and moist! 😋
