Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and grease a muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  4. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined; gently stir in fresh blueberries.
  5. In a small bowl, mix butter, flour, and granulated sugar for the streusel topping until crumbly.
  6. Scoop muffin batter into the muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full, and sprinkle with streusel.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and do not overmix the batter. Adjust baking times as necessary for your oven.
