Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, if using, do not thaw)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for streusel topping)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel topping)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- In a small bowl, make the streusel topping by combining the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until it forms crumbly clumps.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter in each cup.
- Bake for 20–25 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, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the muffin batter.
- These muffins freeze well — just wrap them tightly and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- If using frozen blueberries, toss them in a little flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
