Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
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 unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt for the muffin batter.
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.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
For the streusel topping, combine the flour and brown sugar in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup 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 rich flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used. Do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
Ensure your butter for the streusel topping is cold for the best crumbly texture.
