You need this recipe for the best blueberry muffins ever! These bakery-style muffins are incredibly fluffy, moist, and loaded with juicy berries. We top them with a simple, crunchy streusel for the ultimate breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 3/4 cups flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This is your dry mix.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. This is your wet mix.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing creates tough muffins.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen, do not stir them in completely; leave some streaks of flour on them to prevent bleeding.
  6. Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup flour, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the top of each muffin.
  9. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F. Then, without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these perfectly baked muffins!

Notes

  • For extra fluffy blueberry muffins, toss the fresh or frozen blueberries with one teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter. This helps keep the berries suspended in the batter.
  • If you want jumbo blueberry muffins, use a large muffin tin and increase the baking time slightly, checking frequently after the 20-minute mark.
  • These muffins taste amazing the next day, staying moist and tender for your quick breakfast needs.
