Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted, slightly cooled)
  • 1/4 cup oil (extra light olive or avocado)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Crumb Topping

  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Line: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, then set this mixture aside.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, oil, granulated sugar, milk, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together thoroughly until fully combined.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Fold the dry flour mixture gently into the wet ingredients until just combined to avoid overmixing, which could toughen the muffins.
  5. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to distribute them evenly without crushing.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  7. Prepare Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, use a fork to mix flour, sugar, and softened butter until crumbly and well combined.
  8. Top Muffins: Sprinkle approximately one tablespoon of the crumb topping evenly over each muffin cup.
  9. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your fresh homemade blueberry muffins!

Notes

  • Make sure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter; folding gently helps keep the muffins tender.
  • Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained.
  • The crumb topping adds a delightful texture and sweetness; don’t skip it!
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly before serving to fully enjoy their flavor and texture.
