Ingredients

For the Muffins:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

For the Streusel Topping:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

2. Prepare the Streusel Topping

In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter and mix with a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

4. Combine the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the blueberries.

6. Fill the Muffin Tin

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.

7. Bake

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Expert Tips

Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
Do Not Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
High Muffin Tops: For tall, bakery-style muffins, fill the muffin cups almost to the top and bake at a slightly higher temperature initially.
Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

FAQ

To make the muffins extra fluffy, ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh. Also, avoid overmixing the batter.

Can I substitute buttermilk?
