Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Muffins:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

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

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, you can lightly toss the blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Ensure your butter for the streusel topping is cold. This is key to achieving a crumbly texture.
  • You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the streusel for an extra warm spice note.
