Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 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
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crumble topping)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for crumble topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble topping. Add the cold butter cubes and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the muffins.
  4. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over each muffin.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. 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.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best results. Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Buttermilk can be substituted with a mixture of milk and lemon juice or vinegar. Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
