Ingredients

Scale

Muffins

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (rounded full cup)

Streusel Topping

  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter (cubed)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the muffins.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the beaten egg, 1 cup milk, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Stir gently until just combined, keeping some lumps for a tender texture.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup fresh blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them to maintain their freshness and juiciness.
  5. Portion Batter: Divide the muffin batter evenly into 12 muffin tins, and top each with a couple extra blueberries to enhance the visual appeal.
  6. Prepare Streusel: In a separate bowl, combine 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup cubed butter. Use a pastry blender, fork, or whisk to blend until the mixture forms large crumbly pieces.
  7. Top Muffins: Generously crumble the streusel mixture over the muffin batter in the tins to ensure an even coating of sweet, crunchy topping.
  8. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Halfway through baking, rotate the muffin tray to ensure even cooking.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before dusting them with powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy the perfect blend of moist blueberry muffin and crunchy streusel topping.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture and flavor; frozen blueberries can make the batter more watery.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and tender.
  • Room temperature egg helps bind the ingredients smoothly.
  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter.
  • Streusel topping can be stored in the refrigerator while preparing the batter to maintain its crumbly texture.
  • Rotate the muffin tray halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar to prevent melting.
