In this recipe, we will guide you through the process of making these delectable blueberry muffins with crumble toppings.
Ingredients
For the Muffins:
- 1 cup frozen blueberries, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour, for coating
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1/3 cup milk, or more if needed
For the Crumble Toppings:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cold, cubed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease or line a muffin tray.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk oil, egg, and milk.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
- In a small bowl, toss the frozen blueberries with 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour. This helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.
- Gently fold the coated blueberries into the muffin batter.
- Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the crumble toppings: granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cold cubed butter, and ground cinnamon.
- Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix the ingredients until crumbly and well combined.
- Sprinkle the crumble toppings generously over the muffin batter in each cup.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy these delicious blueberry muffins with crumble toppings as a delightful breakfast or snack!
