Another recipe taken from Joyofbaking.com. The muffins turned out pretty but it wasn't yummy. Partly due to the fact that NTUC didn't really sell sweet and delicious fresh blueberries. When baked, there's no strong blueberry flavor at all and the blueberry taste a tit bit sour.
So try this recipe if you really get very nice blueberries. =D

Blueberry Struesel Muffins
Ingredients
240ml milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
420g flour
200g castor sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
113g unsalted butter
260g fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 tbsp grated lemon zest
2tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Place rack in middle of oven. Line muffin pans with paper liners or spray with a vegetable spray.
- In a small measuring cup mix together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and blend into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.
- Remove 1 cup of the mixture and place in a small bowl to make a streusel topping later.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest.
- Add the milk and egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Do not over mix this mixture or the muffins will be tough when baked.
- Fill each muffin cup almost full with the batter, using two spoons or an ice cream scoop. Fill any unused muffins cups with water to prevent the pan from warping.
- For streusel topping: Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter and drizzle over the reserved 1 cup of streusel topping. Mix together with a fork until it is crumbly and looks like coarse meal.
- Sprinkle a couple of teaspoons of the streusel over the top of each muffin. Place in the oven and bake until very lightly browned and firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 18 - 20 minutes.
- Place on a wire rack to cool.
- Makes 12 - 14 regular-sized muffins.
