Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (for streusel)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Add the cold cubed butter and mix with a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the muffins.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a generous amount of the streusel topping over each muffin.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best results, but frozen can be used without thawing. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins fluffy. For taller muffins, bake in a preheated oven. Add coarse sugar to the streusel for extra crunch.
