You are making the best bakery-style fluffy blueberry muffins. These muffins are incredibly moist and loaded with juicy blueberries. We are adding a simple, crunchy streusel topping for that perfect bakery finish. Follow our plan, and you will create a portfolio-worthy muffin.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: 2 cups
  • Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup (for batter)
  • Baking powder: 1 tablespoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Milk: 3/4 cup
  • Melted unsalted butter: 1/2 cup
  • Large egg: 1
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries: 1 1/2 cups
  • For Streusel Topping:
  • All-purpose flour: 1/2 cup
  • Brown sugar, packed: 1/4 cup
  • Cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces: 2 tablespoons
  • Ground cinnamon: 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and muffin tin. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine wet ingredients. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Prepare the blueberries. Gently toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom. Fold the floured blueberries into the batter carefully.
  6. Make the streusel topping. In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the 2 tablespoons of cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Fill the muffin cups. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the top of each muffin.
  8. Bake the muffins. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your bakery-style muffins.

Notes

  • If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • For extra height, fill the muffin cups slightly higher than usual before adding the topping.
  • For a lemon-blueberry variation, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the wet ingredients.
