Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup plain yogurt or buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Crumb Topping

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crumb Topping: Combine flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside in the fridge to keep cool while you prepare the batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the melted butter with sugar until well mixed. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and yogurt, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in fresh or frozen blueberries, being gentle to prevent crushing them and turning the batter blue.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups and Add Crumb: Divide the batter evenly among a lined or greased muffin tin. Sprinkle the prepared crumb topping generously over each muffin for that signature crunch.
  7. Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the crumb is golden brown.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed blueberries; drain excess juice to prevent soggy batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
  • Chill the crumb topping until baking to maintain its crumbly texture.
  • Use room temperature eggs and yogurt for better blending.
  • Ensure the oven temperature is accurate for perfect baking.
