• Combine the dry ingredients. Start off by adding the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a bowl, then whisking it all together.
• Prepare the blueberries. Reserve about 1 tbsp of the flour mixture and mix it with the blueberries. Then set them aside.

• Beat the eggs. Now whisk the eggs on high speed with anelectric hand mixer in a separate bowl until they’re pale and fluffy.
• Add the sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Continue beating the eggs as you add in thegranulated sugar. Keep beating for about 3 more minutes, then add thevanilla extractand lemon juice.

Pro Tip:Beat the eggs really well because this is what incorporates the air that makes these Blueberry Muffins so fluffy in the end.

• Add the heavy cream. Beat the eggs on high speed again and slowly add in the heavy cream.
• Sift in the dry ingredients. Begin sifting in your dry ingredients, but not all at once. Add about 1/3 of the dry ingredients at a time, mixing to incorporate them each time.
• Add the butter and blueberries. Once you’ve got all your dry ingredients well Incorporated, continue mixing as you add in the melted butter. Then add the berries to the blueberry muffin batter.

• Fold the batter and scoop it. Fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula. Then line themuffin tinwith cupcake liners and begin scooping the batter out using alarge cookie scoop.

• Make the topping. Combine the cold cubed butter, all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until all the ingredients are well combined and have a crumbly, dry texture to them.
• Bake. Top the blueberry muffins with the streusel topping and bake them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35 minutes.

Recipe Tips

• Coat the blueberries in flour- Coating the blueberries in a little bit of the flour mixture helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
• Beat the egg well. The key to super fluffy muffins is well-beaten eggs, so whisk them thoroughly and continue beating while adding in the wet ingredients.
• Add the dry to the wet in stages. When sifting in your dry ingredients, do a third at a time to allow them to be thoroughly incorporated. This avoids clumps and dry spots in the blueberry muffins.
• Use cold butter in the topping. Using cold cubed butter for the streusel topping allows the butter to stay solid through the baking process. Too warm and the butter would melt away.

Add-ins and Substitutions

• Substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream for heavy cream- Decrease the fat content and add protein to this recipe by using plain Greek yogurt or sour cream in place of the heavy cream.
• Reduce the refined sugar- For a healthier muffin, substitute honey for the sugar. This will also give them a nice little honey flavor.
• Add fruits and nuts- For extra flavor, you can add diced banana, mango, or chopped hazelnuts. Just make sure to decrease your blueberries so that the muffin is not overwhelmed.
• Make them gluten-free- Substituting gluten-free flour for the all-purpose flour will make these muffins allergen-friendly.
