Description

These cinnamon streusel-topped blueberry muffins are delicious, easy to make, and a great way to get kids (and adults!) to eat their fruit. Feel free to substitute raspberries, blackberries or cranberries for the blueberries, or try a combination of berries for an extra special treat!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING:
  • ¼ cups Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cold
  • _____
  • FOR THE MUFFINS:
  • 2-¼ cups Flour
  • 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature
  • ¾ cups Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs At Room Temperature
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1-½ cup Blueberries

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 12 muffin cups with butter or cooking spray.

To make the cinnamon streusel topping, in a small bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until large crumbs form. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined.

Add in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla, and stir until combined. (The batter will be lumpy!)

Gently fold in the blueberries with a spoon.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling up to the top.

Sprinkle some of the streusel topping on each muffin.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.

Let cool slightly before enjoying!

Makes 12 muffins.

I made this muffin recipe and was extremely hopeful, but they didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped. All the blueberries sunk to the bottom of the muffins and that caused the structure of the muffins to not hold up when I placed them on a cooling rack.

I also agree with Alicia Adelman’s review…the streusel contains too much flour and is slightly bland.

Light, airy, and yummy! The topping is perfect for it. We have made these over and over.

I made these this morning for Sunday breakfast. They were wonderfully tender with a crisp top. I actually made them as 6 large muffins so I added 5 minutes to the cooking. Great recipe! Will use again.
