Ingredients
  

For the blueberry muffins:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (1 pint) fresh blueberries washed, drained, and picked-over, or frozen (see note 1)
For the streusel topping:
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter cold

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Sift together 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl, then set the mixture aside.
  2. Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of melted butter, milk, and vanilla, whisking until combined. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients until just incorporated, ensuring the batter remains lumpy. Fold in the blueberries.
  3. Prepare the streusel topping by combining 1/4 cup of flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture is coarse and crumbly.
  4. Fill the prepared muffin cups with batter and top each with approximately 1 tablespoon of streusel. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool on a rack for several minutes before removing them from the pan. Cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Notes

  1. Blueberries: Stock up on 1 pint of fresh blueberries, then wash, drain, and pick them over. That means remove any straggler stems, toss any wrinkly or damaged berries, and cut down any large berries. You can also use thawed frozen blueberries, wild or regular. (For additional fruit options, see “Recipe FAQs”.)
  2. Yield: My Blueberry Muffin recipe creates 12 regular-sized muffins.
  3. Storage: Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  4. Freezer: Transfer Blueberry Muffins to an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, thaw the muffins at room temperature overnight, then reheat thawed muffins at 300 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes or until warm.
