Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • For the Muffins:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  4. To make the muffin batter, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the batter in each cup.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  11. 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 teaspoon of lemon zest to the muffin batter.
  • Ensure your butter is cold for the streusel topping; this helps create the perfect crumbly texture.
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
