Blueberry Streusel Muffins
This is the best blueberry muffins recipe I have ever made. They’re super moist, loaded with fresh blueberries, and topped with a crunchy cinnamon streusel. What’s even better is that these muffins are easy to make (without a mixer!) and only take 30 minutes to prepare from start to finish! The secret ingredient to make these muffins super moist and tender is sour cream. I tested these muffins with buttermilk and greek yogurt, and I found that sour cream gives the muffins the best consistency. They’re super moist on the inside with a slight crunch on the outside. Muffin perfection!
blueberry muffin ingredients
This homemade blueberry muffins recipe makes a total of 14 muffins. I bake my muffins in two batches using a 12 cup muffin pan. However, you could make mini muffins if you wanted to use a smaller muffin tin. I used only brown sugar in the muffins and the streusel. Substituting brown sugar versus white sugar gives the muffins an extra crunch on the outside and a moist center. The other muffin ingredients include: all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, pure vanilla extract, vegetable oil, an egg (at room temperature), and fresh or frozen blueberries. For the streusel topping, you’ll need: unsalted butter (melted), the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and cinnamon. That’s it!
how to make blueberry muffins
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. While that’s preheating, whisk together your dry ingredients (flour, brown sugar, salt and baking powder) in a large bowl until combined.
Then, in a medium bowl, combine the the wet ingredients (sour cream, vanilla, vegetable oil, and the egg).
Add egg mixture to dry ingredients, and fold gently. (Do not over mix! That will result in a dense, not fluffy muffin.) Then, gently fold in blueberries.
Scoop batter into a muffin pan lined with baking cups. Fill almost all the way up, about three-quarters of the way (leaving room for them to rise).
Next, quickly make the streusel by combining the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon to a small bowl until its texture is like wet sand. Sprinkle each muffin with some streusel.
Place the prepared muffins in the preheated oven, and bake for 20 minutes or until muffins are set. (Test for doneness by sticking a toothpick or knife in the center and make sure it comes out clean.)
Serve with a pad of butter or as-is, and enjoy!
