Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for streusel)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or generously grease with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, milk, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
- For the streusel topping, mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in additional cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Fresh vs. Frozen Blueberries: Fresh blueberries yield the best flavor and texture, but if you’re using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent excess moisture.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of oats to the streusel for added texture and flavor.
- Perfect Portioning: Use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin for uniformly sized muffins.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins a couple of minutes before the suggested baking time to avoid overbaking.
- Storing Muffins: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze them for longer storage.
- Serving Suggestions: These muffins are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for an extra treat!
