Ingredients:

For the streusel:

• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup salted butter, melted

For the muffin:

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup cubed cream cheese

Directions:

Step 1

In a bowl, combine 2/3 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup melted salted butter. Mix using a fork until crumbly. Set aside and preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Next, in another bowl, add 3/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp lemon zest. Lightly tap the mixture with a spatula to let the lemon zest rub against the sugar and release the aroma. After this, add 1/2 cup butter and mix. Once well incorporated, add two large eggs, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/3 cup Greek yogurt. Mix well, then sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tbsp baking powder. Fold in 1 cup of blueberries just until combined, do not overmix.

Step 2

Next, line your muffin tray with baking paper and pour the batter on each cup. Put a tablespoon of cubed cream cheese in the middle of each muffin, cover it with the batter, and sprinkle the streusel on top. Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for seven minutes, then lower the temp to 400 degrees and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.
