Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 eggs
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
Wet and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Crumb Topping:
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons cold butter
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400F (200C) and arrange a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cavities.
- Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of dry components.
- In a separate vessel, vigorously whisk eggs until well-blended, then incorporate melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, creating a smooth liquid mixture.
- Gently pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing; the batter should appear slightly lumpy.
- Carefully fold fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without crushing the delicate fruits.
- Prepare streusel by combining flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter, using fingertips to create coarse, pebble-like crumbs.
- Generously fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with batter, then sprinkle streusel mixture liberally across the top.
- Slide the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
- Remove from oven and allow muffins to rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure blueberries are fresh and dry to prevent sinking in the batter, gently coating them in flour helps prevent this.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture, especially eggs and butter.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins tender and prevent tough, dense results.
- Substitute whole wheat flour for a portion of all-purpose flour to add nutritional value and nutty flavor.
