Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for streusel topping)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for streusel topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (for streusel topping)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Add the cold cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best results, but frozen can be used without thawing. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins fluffy. Buttermilk can be substituted with milk and lemon juice or vinegar.
