Instructions

 

• 
  First preheat oven to 180 degree C (350 degree F). Place rack in centre of oven.
• 
  Line muffin cups with muffin liners.
• 
  Prepare the WET ingredients needed to make the muffins.
• 
  Next prepare the DRY ingredients needed to make the muffins.
• 
  Then in a medium size bowl, first add in the eggs.
• 
  Add in vanilla extract and milk.
• 
  Whisk all the WET egg mixture together and set aside.
• 
  Next, in a large bowl, add in the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest. Whisk all the DRY flour mixture together.
• 
  Then add in cold butter which has been cut into small cubes.
• 
  Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• 
  Then remove 1 cup of the flour mixture and set aside to make the streusel topping.
• 
  To the remaining of the flour mixture, gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
• 
  Then add in the WET egg mixture into the DRY flour mixture.
• 
  Stir until JUST combined. Do not OVERMIX or the muffins will be tough when baked.
• 
  Use an ice-cream scoop to spoon the batter into the lined muffin cups.
• 
  Fill each lined muffin cup to 3/4 full with the batter.

To Make Streusel Topping

• 
  Place the flour mixture set aside earlier in a bowl and add in melted butter.
• 
  Then add in the toasted walnuts.
• 
  Stir until the flour mixture and walnut are well mixed, crumbly and look like coarse meal. And we're done with the streusel topping.
• 
  Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the streusel on top of each muffin.
• 
  Gently press down on the topping to make sure streusel sticks to the batter.
• 
  Place the filled muffin cups into the preheated oven.
• 
  Bake the muffins for about 20 to 23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of muffin comes out clean. And we're done!
• 
  When baked, remove the muffin pan from oven and let the muffins cool in the muffin pan for 2 to 3 minutes.
• 
  Then remove the muffins from muffin pan and place on wire rack to cool for another 10 minutes before serving.
• 
  As with all muffins, these muffins are best eaten the day they're baked. So Enjoy!
