Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For streusel topping:
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (70 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (57 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Carefully fold in blueberries, keeping them whole; if frozen, fold in straight from freezer.
  6. In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for streusel. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full. Sprinkle streusel topping generously over each muffin.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs and streusel is golden brown.
  9. Cool muffins in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to prevent sogginess. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins fluffy. Fold in blueberries gently to avoid breaking them. Use cold butter for streusel topping to achieve crumbly texture. Tent muffins with foil if browning too fast. Avoid opening oven door early.
