Ingredients
Scale
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- For the Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Prepare the muffin batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the batter in each muffin cup.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
- For an extra pop of flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the streusel topping.
- Ensure your butter for the streusel is cold for the best crumbly texture.
