Course Breakfast, Dessert
- ½ cup butter, plus 1 tbsp for greasing the muffin tin room temp
- 1 cup sugar, plus 1 tsp for sprinkling in muffin tin.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, room temp
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup lime juice (1-2 limes)
- 1 tbsp lime zest (1-2 limes)
- 1¾ cup flour
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup fresh blackberries, sliced into quarters
Lime Zest Streusel Topping
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 tbsp lime zest (1 lime )
- ⅔ cup flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
Preheat oven to 370° and grease a muffin tin with butter. Spring a teaspoon of sugar over each muffin tin so that there's some sugar coating each muffin.
Wash and zest 1 lime. Slice and juice 1-2 limes, depending on how juicy they are. The goal is to have around 1/4 cup lime juice. Set aside both zest and juice .
Using a handheld mixer on medium-high, cream together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes.
Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Mix on medium-low until combined.
Add plain Greek yogurt, lime zest and juice. Mix until combined.
Add in flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and mix until combined.
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the quartered blackberries until combined.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop 1/4 cup of the batter into each muffin tin.
Lime Zest Streusel Topping
Melt the butter in a bowl and combine it with the flour, sugar, and lime zest. The mixture should be crumbly.
To the muffins already scooped in the tin, add 1 heaping tablespoon of streusel topping to the top of each muffin.
Bake the oven for about 20-25 minutes. You'll want to check around the 20 minute mark with a knife or a toothpick (it should come out clean if ready).
Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Just pop out of the muffin tin and enjoy!
