Ingredients

For streusel topping:

For muffins:

For glaze:

  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

For the streusel topping:

  • In a small bowl add all ingredients and stir well to combine. Set aside.

For the muffins: 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin pan with paper liners, set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl add flour, baking powder, fresh thyme leaves, and kosher salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In a small bowl (or use your liquid measuring cup) add buttermilk, lemon zest, vanilla bean paste, and lemon extract. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer add butter and brown sugar.
  • Bean on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between each addition, and mix until just combined.
  • Lower the mixer speed to low and slowly alternate between adding the flour and buttermilk mixture until all the ingredients have been added.
  • Gently stir in the fresh blueberries trying not to break them as you stir.
  • Fill your muffin pans about 3/4 of the way full and smooth the top as best as possible.
  • Top each muffin with a handful of streusel topping. If the topping sets up a bit (the butter might firm up a bit) just break it up with your hands. You want to use all the topping so don’t be scared to really top those muffins.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes or until the muffin is fully cooked. You can test your muffin by inserting a toothpick into the center and when removed it should be clean.
  • Let your muffins cool and top with drizzle.

For the glaze: 

  • Whisk together until smooth. If it’s too thick add a little more lemon juice. If it’s too thin add a little more powdered sugar.
