Blueberry Streusel Muffins
Description
The Blueberry Streusel Muffins begin with a batter of creamed butter and sugar combined with eggs, vanilla extract, and whole milk. The dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and salt—are whisked together and folded into the wet mixture. Blueberries are gently folded in to preserve their shape. The mixture is portioned into lined muffin cups.
A streusel topping is prepared separately by blending sugar, flour, softened butter, and cinnamon until crumbly, resembling wet sand, and sprinkled on top before baking at 350°F for 20–25 minutes. The muffins are done when a tester comes out clean.
The resulting muffins offer a balance of tender crumb, burst of blueberry flavor, and sweet crisp streusel. They make a classic breakfast or snack option when paired with coffee or tea.
This recipe yields a dozen muffins and derives inspiration from Barbara Bakes and Allrecipes for the streusel component.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 /2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 /2 cup butter unsalted, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 /2 cup milk whole
- 2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
Streusel Topping:
- 1/4 /4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º. Line muffin pan with paper muffin liners.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat in. Add the vanilla and milk and combine well. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in blueberries. Divide batter evenly into 12 muffin cups.
- To prepare streusel topping mix with sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon with a fork. Sometimes I use my hands to get it fully incorporated so that it has the texture of wet sand. Sprinkle muffins with streusel topping.
- Bake at 350º for 20 to 25 min, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Makes 12 muffins.
Notes
- Recipe source: muffin base from Barbara Bakes; streusel topping inspired by Allrecipes.
