2. Grease a muffin tray or place muffin liners inside the molds and set aside for later.
3. In a separate bowl, put 150 g brown sugar and 120 g of melted butter. Whisk both ingredients well with a hand or stand mixer until the sugar granules have been completely dissolved. After a while the mixture should become smooth and homogenous. Crack the eggs and whisk once again thoroughly until the mixture gets light and creamy. .
4. Pour the milk gradually into the mixture, while keep mixing until all the milk has been incorporated well.
5. Now sift in 270 g flour, 10 g of matcha and baking powder into the mixture little by little. Make sure you keep whisking thoroughly, while adding the dry ingredients, so no lumps can form in your batter. Add one pinch of sea salt, 1 tbsp. lemon zest and whisk again.
6. Add the blueberries into your muffin batter and stir with a silicon spatula until well incorporated.
7. For the crumble topping, put 110 g of softened butter and 100 g of brown sugar in large bowl and mix well until smooth and homogenous. Sift in 125 g of flour and 5 g of matcha powder gradually into the crumble topping and mix well once again until crumbly.
8. Pour the batter into your prepared muffin tray and tap the tray a few times against the countertop to release remaining air bubbles. Top each muffin with the crumble topping.

9. Transfer the muffin tray into the preheated oven and bake at 180 degrees Celsius (Or 165 degrees Celsius if a convection oven is used) for about 20 minutes until the crumble topping is light golden brown, or an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
