  • Sift in 2 cups of flour, baking powder and salt and whisk until evenly blended.
  • Combine eggs, yogurt, vanilla, oil, melted butter and milk in a medium bowl and whisk until completely smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and gently fold it all together, then sprinkle remaining tablespoon of flour over the berries and toss to coat them, fold them into the batter.
  • Cover the bowl and set aside to stand for 30 minutes while the oven preheats.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

Streusel Topping Preparation

  • Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then transfer to a cooling rack.
