  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (for crumb topping)
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (for crumb topping)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
  2. Prepare the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries.
  6. Fill muffin cups: Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter.
  7. Add crumb topping: Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over each muffin.
  8. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter for tender muffins.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
  • Keep the butter cold for a crumbly topping.
  • Toss blueberries in flour to prevent sinking.
  • Check for doneness with a toothpick.
