Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries

Streusel Topping

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the muffins evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together to distribute all the leavening agents and seasoning evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, milk, and eggs until fully blended to create a smooth wet mixture.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make muffins tough.
  5. Add Blueberries: Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them up.
  6. Prepare Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon until combined; this mixture will add a sweet, crunchy topping.
  7. Fill Muffin Tin: Grease your muffin tin or line it with muffin cups. Scoop the muffin batter evenly into each cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
  8. Add Streusel: Sprinkle the prepared streusel crumb mixture evenly over the top of each muffin before baking.
  9. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve once cooled to enjoy the perfect texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
  • Use fresh blueberries for best results; frozen blueberries can be used but may require slightly longer baking times.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • The streusel topping adds a wonderful crunch but can be omitted if you prefer a plain muffin.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
