Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats
  • For streusel topping:
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (57 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your muffin tin with liners or grease it well.
  2. Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the oats last. Chill in the fridge.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients for the muffins: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 2 eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1/2 cup melted butter.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Fold in the blueberries carefully.
  6. Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full with batter.
  7. Generously sprinkle the chilled streusel topping over each muffin and press lightly.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool muffins in the pan for at least 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Keep the butter cold for the streusel topping to ensure a crumbly texture. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Toss frozen blueberries with a tablespoon of flour before folding in to prevent sinking. Chill the streusel topping before baking. Muffin liners are optional but recommended for easy cleanup. Batter can be made up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated.
