Ingredients
For the Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp vinegar/lemon juice)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (don’t thaw if frozen)
- 1 tablespoon flour (to coat the blueberries)
For the Crumb Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
Step 2: Make the Crumb Topping
- In a small bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Set aside for later.
Step 3: Prepare the Muffin Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. (Don’t overmix—it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy!)
Step 4: Add the Blueberries
- Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the muffin batter.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Cups
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin.
Step 6: Bake!
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
