Ingredients
For the Muffins:
- 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
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
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 or cooking spray.
2. Make the Crumble Topping
In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble topping. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
3. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Combine the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Gently fold in the blueberries.
6. Fill the Muffin Tin
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over each muffin.
7. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Expert Tips
- Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting 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 not to thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent the batter from turning purple.
How do I make these muffins extra moist?
To ensure extra moist muffins, avoid overbaking them. Remove them from the oven as soon as a toothpick comes out clean. You can also add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter for added moisture.
Can I make these muffins ahead of time?
Absolutely! These muffins can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. They also freeze well, so you can enjoy them later by thawing at room temperature or warming them in the microwave.
