Ingredients
Scale
- For the Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt for the muffins.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the batter in each muffin cup.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a little lemon zest to the muffin batter.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Ensure your butter for the streusel topping is cold for the best crumbly texture.
