Ingredients

For the muffins:

  • 2 1/4 cups (281 grams) white whole wheat or whole spelt flour, whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (176 grams) unrefined sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 1/4 cup (185 grams) blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1/3 cup canola oil or light olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups (354 ml) buttermilk see notes for dairy-free
  • 1 cup (226 grams) lemon curd if not making mine, make sure yours is dairy-free, if necessary

For the streusel:

  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) unrefined sugar
  • 1/2 cup (50 grams) rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon (50 grams) white whole wheat or whole spelt flour, whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons (56 grams) cold unsalted butter or 3 1/2 tablespoons (49 grams) coconut oil for a dairy-free version

Instructions

  • First, prepare the streusel. Mix all the ingredients together until it resembles coarse crumbs. You can use a pastry cutter but I prefer to use my fingers.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line 2 muffin pans with 16 muffin liners.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, including the blueberries.
    2 1/4 cups (281 grams) white whole wheat, 3/4 cup (176 grams) unrefined sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 1/4 cup (185 grams) blueberries
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the lemon extract, oil, and buttermilk.
    1 teaspoon lemon extract, 1/3 cup canola oil, 1 1/2 cups (354 ml) buttermilk
  • Add the wet mix to the dry mix and stir just until combined.
    1/2 cup (100 grams) unrefined sugar, 1/2 cup (50 grams) rolled oats, 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon (50 grams) white whole wheat, 4 tablespoons (56 grams) cold unsalted butter
  • Fill the muffin liners halfway, dollop 1 tablespoon of lemon curd on top, and then fill with more batter, almost all the way to the top.
    1 cup (226 grams) lemon curd
  • Sprinkle the streusel over the tops of the muffins.
  • Bake the muffins for 18 - 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Make sure not to insert the toothpick in the very center where the curd is! It'll come out wet, if you do.
  • Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cover and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • To make dairy-free and vegan buttermilk: add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to a 1 cup measuring cup. Fill with milk of choice. Add another 1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to a 1/2 cup measuring cup. Fill with milk of choice. There's your 1 1/2 cups of dairy-free and vegan buttermilk!
