Ingredients
Scale
Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Crumb Topping:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup.
- Prepare the crumb topping: In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla extract, milk, and sour cream (or yogurt) until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to distribute them evenly.
- Fill the muffin cups about three-quarters full with the batter and generously sprinkle the crumb topping over each muffin.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Lemon Blueberry Muffins: Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
- Almond Blueberry Muffins: Use almond extract instead of vanilla for a nutty flavor.
- Healthier Version: Substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose and replace some sugar with honey or maple syrup.
- Nutty Crumb Topping: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel for extra crunch.
