Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Crumble Topping

  • 1/4 cup butter, cold and diced
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, combine the cold diced butter with brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon (if using). Use your fingers or a pastry blender to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to ensure proper rising and balanced sweetness.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth to hydrate the dry ingredients properly.
  4. Fold Wet into Dry: Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined to keep the muffins tender. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in fresh blueberries to evenly distribute them without breaking, ensuring juicy bursts in each muffin.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin and Add Crumble: Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners. Spoon the batter evenly into each cup, then generously sprinkle the crumble topping over each muffin.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and tops turn golden brown.
  8. Cool Before Enjoying: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to allow the crumble topping to set and muffins to finish baking internally.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw to prevent color bleeding).
  • Keep butter cold when making crumble topping for best texture.
  • Do not overmix batter to keep muffins light and tender.
  • Line muffin tin with paper liners for easy cleanup and perfect shape.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick to avoid overbaking and drying out muffins.
