Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
  • 1/2 cup Streusel Topping ingredients (1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cold butter, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Prepare the streusel topping first: In a small bowl, combine the streusel flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set this aside in the refrigerator.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until just combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and results in tough muffins.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen berries, toss them with one tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter to help prevent sinking.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the chilled streusel topping generously over the top of each muffin.
  9. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these homemade blueberry muffins!

Notes

  • For extra fluffy blueberry muffins, ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature before mixing.
  • To get those beautiful, bakery-style tall tops, start baking at a higher temperature (400°F) for the first few minutes before lowering the heat.
  • These muffins stay moist for days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
