Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Prepare the crumble topping: In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Make the muffin batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full with the batter. Sprinkle a generous amount of the crumble topping over each muffin.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Expert Tips
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent the muffins from turning purple.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Customize the topping by adding chopped nuts like pecans or almonds for extra crunch.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
