Ingredients

For the Muffins:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

For the Streusel Topping:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.

2. Make the Streusel Topping

In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

4. Combine the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the blueberries.

6. Fill the Muffin Tin

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.

7. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Cool and Serve

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Expert Tips

• Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best, but if they’re out of season, frozen blueberries can be used. Just toss them in a bit of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
• High Heat for Tall Muffins: Starting the muffins in a hot oven helps them rise quickly, creating those beautiful tall tops.
• Add a Lemon Twist: For a zesty flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.

FAQ

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Just make sure to toss them in flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.

How do I store these muffins?

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.

Can I make these muffins ahead of time?

Absolutely! These muffins taste great the next day. You can also prepare the batter the night before and bake them in the morning for fresh muffins.
