Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ยฝ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ยฝ teaspoon baking soda
  • ยฝ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • โ…“ cup (80ml) vegetable oil or melted unsalted butter
  • 1 ยฝ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ยฝ cups (225g) fresh blueberries
  • ยฝ cup (60g) all-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
  • โ…“ cup (65g) brown sugar, packed (for crumble topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumble topping)
  • ยผ cup (57g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes (for crumble topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Line a jumbo muffin tin with liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ยฝ cups flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until just combined; stop mixing as soon as the flour disappears.
  5. Carefully fold in the blueberries, coating them lightly with the batter to prevent sinking.
  6. In a small bowl, combine ยฝ cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or forks to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling them about โ…” full.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon crumble evenly over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins fluffy. Use cold butter for the crumble topping to ensure crunchiness. Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for better texture. Toss blueberries in a little flour before folding to prevent sinking. If crumble browns too fast, tent muffins with foil during last 5 minutes of baking. Let muffins cool slightly before handling to improve texture.
