Description

My husband ate seven in one day! The cinnamon-sugar streusel topping sets them over the edge. (They can also easily be made vegan by swapping out the egg with egg replacer!)

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MUFFINS:
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ¾ cups Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ⅓ cups Vegetable Oil
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ⅓ cups Milk
  • 1 cup Blueberries
  • _____
  • FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING:
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ⅓ cups Flour
  • ¼ cups Butter (or Earth Balance)
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
2. To make the muffins, combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1-cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with the flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
3. To make crumb topping: Mix together sugar, cup flour, butter, and cinnamon. Mix with a fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.

I tried this recipe — these really are the best blueberry muffins ever! The batter is sturdy enough to keep the blueberries from clumping together (and I also tossed a little of the flour/sugar mixture on the blueberries before tossing them in to help make sure they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter). Tasty and tender. The topping is wonderful too. These disappeared fast around my house! Thanks for this favorite muffin recipe!

These are my go-to muffins for my girls. I do change it around a bit, b/c I want them to eat a little healthier in the morning, so I omit the crumb topping (but sometimes sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking). I also use applesauce instead of vegetable oil (same amount) and they come out just as moist as the regular ones did.

I also use whole wheat flour, frozen blueberries and throw a little wheat germ in there…They are a great alternative to pop tarts or processed breakfast foods. Thanks for sharing!

My 5 year old and I made these for breakfast this morning and they were great. We only got 6 large muffins but that’s how I like them. I loved the crumb topping….that’s what “made” them. Yum.

Saw this same recipe on another cooking site and it got fairly good reviews so I decided to try it. I made a few modifications and added 1.5 tsp of vanilla extract and the zest of one lemon to the batter.

I also used half white sugar and half brown sugar for the topping and added crushed pecans. The recipe makes a lot of streusel topping, so I recommend cutting the amount by half or a third. I’ll probably save it and make another batch of muffins in a couple of days.

Overall though, they were good muffins–very moist and light.

These turned out perfectly!!!!!! Moist and full of blueberries on the inside and the outside. On my!!!! The outside is a thin layer of crunchy cinnamon goodness. Yes, we loved these muffins. Thanks for sharing.

These tasted great! Simple to put together, too. Though, due to the topping, very hard to get out of the pan, would use cupcake liners the next time.

These are amazing! I diced up the blueberries and then after they were in the tins, added 3 whole blueberries at the top of each muffin. In my oven they only took 15 min or so. My husband LOVED these!

My husband couldn’t stop eating these delicious muffins!!! I agree that you only need to make half the topping.

This was my first time making blueberry muffins from scratch, and I think these turned out well! I followed the directions to a ‘T’, with the only substitutions being applesauce for oil and half brown sugar and half regular sugar for the topping. I’m pleased and will most likely make these again.
