Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice as substitute)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 1/4 cups (180g) fresh blueberries
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (65g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  6. Prepare the streusel topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add cold, cubed butter and crumble with fingers or a pastry cutter until coarse crumbs form.
  7. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously on each muffin.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter and the streusel is golden and crisp.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Use cold butter for the streusel topping to create a crisp texture. Toss blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding in to prevent sinking. Oven temperatures vary; start checking muffins at 18 minutes. Buttermilk can be substituted with milk plus lemon juice or vinegar. For dairy-free or vegan options, see variations.
