Blueberries – This recipe is perfect for any fresh or frozen blueberries you have on hand! If using frozen, you may need to give your muffins an extra minute or two in the oven.

For the optional streusel topping, you’ll also want some brown sugar, more flour, and melted butter.

How to make Muffins at home

Baked goods may seem hard but they’re very easy! To make Blueberry Muffins from scratch, here’s all you’ll have to do:

Mix your wet and dry ingredients seperately before combining into a batter and folding in your blueberries.
Spoon your batter into the cups of a greased muffin tray and top with more blueberries and streusel topping.
Bake at 400 degrees until golden-brown- about 20-25 minutes.

We start this recipe off by mixing our wet and dry ingredients seperately. In one bowl, whisk to combine all your dry ingredients- flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a measuring cup, first add your oil and egg before adding your milk for a total volume of 1 cup. We want 1 cup of wet ingredients to get the right amount of moisture in our muffins.

Mix the wet ingredients up and then add to the dry ingredients with a bit of vanilla. Stir until fully combined.

Once that’s all mixed up, toss in most of your blueberries and fold them into the batter. Fold until they’re evenly distributed.

Grease or line your muffin tins and fill them 2/3 full with your muffin batter. Top with a few extra blueberries and an optional streusel topping!

How to make streusel topping

Making this delicious homemade streusel topping is super simple. Give some flour and brown sugar a quick mix in a bowl before pouring some melted butter over top.

Mix that butter in and the flour and sugar should start to come together into a crumbly streusel topping. This stuff is great on all sorts of muffins and other baked goods- today, we’re using it for our streusel-topped blueberry muffins. Give each muffin a generous sprinkling.

All that’s left is to bake! Send your muffin tin into an awaiting 400 degree oven and give them about 20-25 minutes to bake to a delicious golden-brown color. To make sure they’re done, give them a quick poke with a toothpick: if your toothpick pulls out any uncooked batter, your muffins need a few more minutes. If the toothpick pulls clean- besides a bit of blueberry juice- they’re ready to eat. Enjoy!

How long do Blueberry Muffins last?

These homemade muffins are pretty hardy! Kept at room temperature, they’ll last for about 3 days. In the fridge, they’ll last even longer- around a week. For long-term storage, keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. In all of these cases, store your muffins in an airtight container or plastic bag.
