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 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

For the Crumble Topping:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold 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 Crumble 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 buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, 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—lumps are okay!

6. Fold in Blueberries

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

7. Fill the Muffin Tin

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a generous amount of the crumble topping over each muffin.

8. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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 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 for this recipe, but you can also use frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Extra Crumble: For an extra crunchy topping, sprinkle a little extra crumble on top of each muffin before baking.

FAQ

Can I use frozen blueberries?

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 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.
