Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

For the Crumble Topping:

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

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 or cooking spray.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

5. Fold in Blueberries

Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

6. Prepare the Crumble Topping

In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cold butter, and cinnamon. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

7. Fill Muffin Cups

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over each muffin.

8. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. Cool and Serve

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan 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 you can also use frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
Do Not Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
Customize the Topping: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a handful of chopped nuts to the crumble topping for extra flavor.
Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

FAQ

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Just make sure not to thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent the color from bleeding.

How can I make these muffins extra moist?

For extra moist muffins, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter.

Can I substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour?
