Blueberry Streusel Muffins
Picture this: warm, fluffy muffins bursting with juicy blueberries and topped with a buttery streusel that’s just like a cozy blanket for your taste buds. Seriously, who wouldn’t want that? Now, without further ado, let’s dive into the deliciousness!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, if you’re feeling wild)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (for the streusel)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for the streusel)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Go ahead, let that oven know it’s about to get busy!
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix ‘em up like they’re old friends!
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until combined—use that muscle!
- Pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Don’t overdo it; we want delicate muffins, not a brick!
- Add in those luscious blueberries and give it a few gentle folds, just enough to get them all cozy with the batter.
- Now, for the streusel: in a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, cold butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Crumble it over your muffin batter like you mean it!
- Spoon the muffin batter into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. You can do it, I believe in you!
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the middle. Let them cool a bit (if you can resist the temptation).
And there you have it! Blueberry streusel muffins that are sure to impress—or at the very least, make your kitchen smell heavenly. Grab your coffee, bite into one of these beauties, and start your day with a smile!
