For the Muffin Batter:

• Salt
• Blueberries

For the Streusel Topping:

• Butter (cubed)

🍴Instructions

Step One: make the batter

Start off by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. This will give it enough time to get hot while you’re mixing up your ingredients. And don’t forget to position the rack in the center for even baking. Grab your muffin tin and line ’em up with those cute cupcake liners you’ve got stashed away.

Time to make your muffin batter. Get two bowls. In the first one, combine your wet ingredients – that’s your vegetable oil, milk, and egg. Give it a nice whisk until it’s all blended together. In the second bowl, it’s time for your dry ingredients – flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Now, pour the wet mixture into the dry one and stir gently until it’s just combined. You don’t want to overmix it, or your muffins might turn out tough. Now for the star of the show – fold in those plump, juicy blueberries.

Step Two: make the topping

Cube up the butter and toss it in a medium mixing bowl with your flour. Now, grab two knives or a pastry blender, and cut that butter into the flour until it looks like tiny peas. Stir in your sugar and cinnamon, and voila! Your mouthwateringly good streusel topping is ready.

Step three: assemble

Take a scoop of your batter and fill each muffin tin. You’re aiming for about 2/3 full to give them room to rise. Now, sprinkle that awesome streusel topping equally over each muffin.

Step Four: bake!

Bake for about 25-30 minutes.You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs clinging on. Once they’re done, take them out of the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool down a bit.

🥫 Storage instructions

Now, if by some miracle you haven’t gobbled up all these yummy muffins right away, here’s how you can store them:

• Counter Storage: Once your muffins have cooled down completely, you can store them at room temperature. Just pop them into an airtight container or a Ziploc bag. They should keep for about 1-2 days. You might want to poke a few small holes in the bag. This lets out the excess moisture and keeps the topping from getting soggy.
• Freezer Friends: Blueberry muffins freeze really well! Once they’re cool, wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap, then put all of them in a freezer bag or airtight container. They can last for up to 3 months in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy one, take it out and let it thaw at room temperature, or defrost it in the microwave.

🔍 FAQs

👩🏻‍🍳 Expert tips

• Don’t Overmix: This one’s a biggie. When you’re combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix just until they’re combined. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins, and nobody wants that!
• Fresh or Frozen: Both fresh and frozen blueberries work in this recipe, so use what you have on hand. If you’re using frozen, toss them into the batter frozen to avoid turning your batter blue.
• Room Temperature Ingredients: Try to have your wet ingredients (like the egg and milk) at room temperature before you start. This helps them combine more evenly with the dry ingredients.
• Check for Doneness: All ovens are different, so start checking your muffins a little before the suggested time. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with just a few crumbs.
• Cooling Time: Let your muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling. This will prevent them from becoming soggy.
