Ingredients
Scale
For the Muffins:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar (plus 2 tablespoons for topping)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Streusel Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them almost to the top. Sprinkle the extra 2 tablespoons of sugar over the tops.
- Prepare the streusel by combining the flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Add the cold butter and rub it in with your fingers until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
