Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • For the Streusel:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Generously sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter in each muffin cup.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Using cold butter for both the muffin batter and the streusel is key to achieving a tender crumb and a crisp topping.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the streusel.
  • If you don’t have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but do not thaw them before adding to the batter. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
