My simple and delicious Bakery-Style Blueberry Muffins require one bowl, 10 minutes to prepare, and are topped with a delicious cinnamon streusel crunch! Serve these at your next brunch or have them as a mid-day snack, the options are limitless!
In a medium bowl, blend together barely softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and flour. Mix until clumpy mixture forms. Set aside.
Blueberry Muffin Batter
Preheat oven to 400F (375F convection bake). Prepare a muffin/cupcake tray with 12 paper liners or coat/spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to aerate.
Add vegetable oil, eggs (scrambled with a fork or whisk), milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Continue to whisk until just combined.
In a small bowl, add 1 tbsp flour to the fresh blueberries. Toss to coat blueberries with flour. Fold blueberries into muffin mixture.
Divide the batter into the 12 prepared muffin cups.
Decorate with a few additional blueberries and divide the streusel mixture across the 12 cupcakes. Bake at 400F (375F convection bake) for ~30 minutes or until toothpick comes out with few crumbs attached.
Cool for 5-10 minutes in muffin tins then let cool completely on wire rack.
Enjoy!
Notes
Sofia’s Tips:
To allow more space for muffins to rise – use two cupcake/muffin trays instead of one – spacing out muffin liners so that only six are used in each tray)
This recipe can also be made with frozen blueberries (1:1 substitution)!
If using frozen blueberries...DO NOT defrost frozen blueberries before adding them to the muffin batter!
These muffins can be frozen in an air-tight freezer bag for up to 6 months! Simply defrost at room temperature, and warm for a few minutes in the oven for that freshly baked muffin warmth!
Enjoy!
