The Perfect Blueberry Muffin

These blueberry muffins are not only really easy to make, but wow, are they packed with greatness.

Begin by heating the oven to 400ºF.

Add the muffin liners to your muffin tin. This recipe will make about 9-11 muffins. To a bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, oil, and baking powder. To a small bowl, add the milk and beaten egg and mix that together. Add this to the flour mixture and begin mixing with a wooden spoon until all lumps are out. Next, add in the blueberries and gently fold into the mixture, being careful not to bust any of them open.

To another bowl, add in the crumble ingredients, and begin mixing and mashing up the butter just a bit.

Take the muffin batter and begin filling the muffin liners. You will want to fill them almost to the top but not all of the way as they will rise up a bit. Divide the crumble topping onto each muffin, and feel free to be generous. Start by adding enough crumble to cover each muffin, then with any leftover, begin sprinkling over all of them.

Place these in the oven for about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven to let cool a bit.

The result is, well, nothing but a moist and perfect muffin. For someone who thinks he does not have a sweet tooth, well, now I think I do. We immediately had to plate 3 of them for grandma’s house, and then we enjoyed one (I mean 2) ourselves. As much as I got the pleasure from shopping with my daughter to mixing and baking the muffins with her, I think I got more pleasure out of watching her eat and talk about the muffins.
