Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Crumble Topping:

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

5. Fold in Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

6. Prepare Crumble Topping

In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

7. Fill Muffin Cups

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over each muffin.

8. Bake

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Expert Tips

• Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best, but if they’re out of season, frozen blueberries can be used. Just toss them in a bit of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
• Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

FAQ

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Just make sure to toss them in flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking.

How do I make these muffins extra fluffy?

For extra fluffy muffins, ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh. Also, avoid overmixing the batter to keep the texture light.

Can I omit the crumble topping?

Absolutely! The muffins will still be delicious without the crumble topping. You can also sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking for added flavor.
