STREUSEL

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch salt
7 Tablespoons butter, melted

MUFFINS

1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest- I used 1/2 teaspoon
4 tablespoons melted butter - cooled
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries

For the stresusel: In small bowl combine all ingreds and mix with fork until crumbly.

For the muffins: Whisk eggs in medium bowl until combined. Add vanilla, sugar, and zest, whisk together. Slowly whisk in the butter; add the buttermilk and whisk to combine.
Reserve 1 tablespoon flour. Whisk the remaining flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Fold in egg mixture until almost combined. Toss blueberries in reserved 1 tablespoon flour and fold into batter until just combined.

Scoop into greased muffin tin, top with streusel, bake, and prepared to die!
