This delicious recipe uses buttermilk which I love using in my baking it keeps the muffins moist, and the Meyer lemon adds a perfect hint of citrus. It smells so good, and you will have people wondering, “Is that lemon I’m tasting?”

To complete the meal try adding some scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. Or fresh seasonal fruit and greek yogurt.

Instructions
Muffins
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line your muffin tins with your liners.
- In a large bowl sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix.
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, butter, lemon zest, and eggs.
- Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. With a spatula or fork fold the mixed batter just until it is incorporated. Remember not to over mix!
- Fold in the fruit, in this case blueberries..
- Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners and top with streusel topping.
- Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown. Serve warm with salted butter on the side.
Cinnamon Streusel Topping
- In a small bowl add all ingredients and mix together until crumbles form.
- Cupcake liners | The cute tulip cupcake liners that I use are from Amazon. They come in all sort of colors but I am a fan of the natural look. Personal preference.
- Gluten Free Flour | I love the way Pamela’s All-Purpose Flour – Artisan Blend is, it always comes out great.
- Eggs | You can tell the quality of an egg in its yolk and at Fed & Full, we only use the best. Vital Farms yolks are vibrant orange. Happy and healthy hens!
- Yogurt | If you want a thick and creamy yogurt than look no further. Siggi’s Icelandic yogurt is great with breakfast and even desserts! I haven’t had a flavor that disappoints but their triple cream blend is to die for
