1 cup milk 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 large egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup fresh blueberries (or 3/4 cup frozen blueberries, thawed and drained) Streusel Topping 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 3 tablespoons cold butter 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
How to Make Blueberry Streusel Muffins 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease 12 medium muffin cups. 2. Make the streusel topping In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Use a fork or pastry blender to mix until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set aside. 3. Mix the wet ingredients In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla, and egg until well combined. 4. Combine the dry ingredients In another bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 5. Make the muffin batter Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until the flour is moistened. The batter should remain slightly lumpy. Do not overmix. 6. Add the blueberries Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula. 7. Fill the muffin cups Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. 8. Add the streusel topping Sprinkle 1–2 tablespoons of streusel over each muffin. 9. Bake the muffins Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 10. Cool and serve Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Makes 12 blueberry streusel muffins.
Simple Tips for Perfect Blueberry Muffins • Toss blueberries lightly in 1 teaspoon flour before adding to the batter to keep them from sinking. • If using frozen blueberries, add them while still slightly frozen to reduce color bleeding. • For bakery-style muffins, fill muffin cups almost full and sprinkle extra streusel on top.
