Make bakery-style blueberry muffins that are fluffy, moist, and bursting with berries. This easy recipe includes a sweet streusel topping for the ultimate homemade breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For Streusel Topping: 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • For Streusel Topping: 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • For Streusel Topping: 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • For Streusel Topping: 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

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: In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup flour, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Cut in the 2 tablespoons of cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 3/4 cups flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the reserved streusel topping evenly over the top of the batter in each cup.
  9. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy muffins, ensure your egg and milk are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Toss the blueberries lightly in one teaspoon of flour before adding them to the batter; this helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • If you want jumbo blueberry muffins, use a jumbo muffin tin and increase the baking time by about 5-7 minutes.
