Blueberry Streusel Muffins
Updated: Aug 17
I created this recipe once I moved to Brookfield and went blueberry picking for the first time in my life (at 46 years old). I was so excited I went twice and picked over 10lbs of these little orbs of deliciousness. So, I decided to try my hand at some homemade blueberry muffins. These are know as "the best blueberry muffins ever", according to Jet.
INGREDIENTS
For the muffins:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of granulated sugar
2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs (beaten, ok don't beat them - nicely mix them)
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted better, melted
1/2 cup milk (anything but skim)
1 tsp vanilla extract (or measure with your heart)
2 cups fresh blueberries washed, drained and picked over
you can use frozen blueberries but you will miss out of the delicious explosiveness of the fresh berries
For the streusel topping (don't not make the topping, it's worth it)
1/4 cup of all purpose flour
2 Tbsp of dark brown sugar (packed)
2 Tbsp of granular sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
2 Tbsp cold butter, cut into small pieces
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a muffin pan with cupcake liners. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add the ½ cup melted butter, milk, and vanilla, and whisk until combined. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir until combined. (Dough will be lumpy.) Fold in blueberries.
To prepare the streusel topping, in a medium bowl combine ¼ cup flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut in butter until topping is crumbly and coarse.
Fill prepared muffin cups with batter. Top each muffin with streusel topping, about 1 tablespoon each. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean with a few crumbs attached, about 18 to 22 minutes. Cool muffins on a rack for several minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely and store in an airtight container, up to 4 days.
