The summer is fading fast, and with it disappear the carefree days of not applying for residency and not writing personal statements. In celebration of my stress and procrastination tactics, I made muffins! Blueberry muffins are my favorite, and this combines a little bit of the texture of a corn muffin too. The lemon zest adds just a touch of lemon flavor, enough to brighten the batter, but not enough to be overtly lemon-y. Frozen blueberries also work just fine, so this is a good year-round recipe.
I am a firm believer in streusel's ability to make anything taste better. Could you do without the flourbuttersugarstreusel? Technically, yes, but you would regret it.
