Make bakery-style blueberry muffins that are fluffy, moist, and bursting with berries. This easy recipe includes a simple streusel topping for the ultimate homemade breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For the Streusel Topping: 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the muffin batter.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
  6. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the streusel flour and sugars. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the top of each muffin.
  9. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy blueberry muffins, do not overmix the batter after adding the wet ingredients to the dry.
  • Toss the blueberries lightly in one tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to help prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • This recipe makes moist blueberry muffins that stay tender for days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
