Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • For the Muffins:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  3. Make the muffin batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the batter in each muffin cup.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a crispier streusel, ensure your butter is very cold when making the topping.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter. This helps prevent them from bleeding into the muffin batter.
  • You can add a pinch of lemon zest to the batter for an extra burst of flavor.
