Easy and Delicious Blueberry Muffins Recipe with a Crumb Topping

Can You Use Frozen Blueberries?

You can make this with frozen blueberries, but I have found the fresh works best and delivers a juicier final outcome!

How Do You Keep Blueberries From Sinking?

Simply mix the blueberries with a couple of tablespoons of all-purpose flour to coat them, this will keep them from sinking into the batter.

Ingredients

12 servings

Muffins

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups blueberries, divided

Crumble

1/4 cup cold butter, diced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Steps

Muffins

Preheat over to 375 degrees F and line muffin pan with liners and set aside.
Beat softened butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Beat in egg and vanilla. The mixture will be a bit lumpy, that's okay.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mix and buttermilk, alternating between the two 3 times until incorporated into the butter mix. Beat until completely combined.
In a small bowl, stir together about 1 cup of the blueberries and the extra tablespoon of all-purpose flour, make sure to coat. Gently fold blueberries into the batter. Add a 1/4 cup of batter to each muffin liner. Load up the tops of the muffins with remaining blueberries.

Crumble

In a mixing bowl, use your hands to mix the crumble ingredients until it looks like, well... a crumble. Sprinkle crumble evenly over the tops of the muffins.
Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F and bake muffins for 18-20 minutes.
