I’d take these homemade blueberry muffins over ones from a bakery any day. They’re moist and tender in the middle and have a crisp cinnamon-sugar streusel on top. But best of all, they’re loaded with juicy blueberries. You get a hit of sweet-tart berry flavor in every bite. We’ve been lucky enough to go blueberry picking a few times this summer, and I’ve made this easy blueberry muffin recipe after every trip. The muffins disappear quickly around here—paired with a cup of coffee, they’re one of my favorite breakfast treats. Our kiddo loves them too (without the coffee, of course). I’m hoping to make another batch this summer, while fresh blueberries are still abundant. After that, we might have to switch over to frozen blueberries for the fall. These blueberry muffins are too good to take out of the rotation! I hope you love them too.
Blueberry Muffin Recipe Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this blueberry muffin recipe:
Blueberries, of course! Fresh or frozen blueberries will work well here. If you use frozen, there’s no need to thaw them before adding them to the batter. All-purpose flour – It creates the base of the batter. Spoon and level it to avoid packing too much into your measuring cup. Baking powder, baking soda, and eggs – They help the muffins rise. Whole milk Greek yogurt – It gives the muffins a super moist and fluffy texture. Cane sugar – For sweetness. Regular granulated sugar works too. Vegetable oil and milk – They add moisture and richness. Any type of milk goes! Use whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, or whatever you keep in your fridge. Vanilla extract – For warm depth of flavor. And sea salt – To make all the flavors pop!
You’ll also need extra flour, brown sugar, cold butter, and cinnamon to create the crumble topping. Find the complete recipe with measurements below.
How to Make Blueberry Muffins
I love this blueberry muffin recipe because it’s super easy. A muffin pan is the only special equipment required! Here’s how it goes: Start by making the crumble topping. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use your hands or a fork to work the cold butter into the flour mixture until it crumbles. Set aside. Next, make the muffin batter. Whisk together the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients…
…and mix until just combined. Careful not to overmix, or the muffins will be dense. Then, add the blueberries to the batter. Toss them with 1/2 teaspoon flour before folding them in. This little bit of flour prevents the blueberries from sinking to the bottoms of the muffins.
Evenly divide the batter into a 12-cup muffin tin that’s been greased or lined with paper liners. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar streusel on top. Finally, bake at 400°F for 17 to 20 minutes. The muffin tops should spring back to the touch and a toothpick inserted should come out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely (or devouring them warm).
How to Store Blueberry Muffins
These blueberry muffins keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Can you freeze blueberry muffins?
Yes! These blueberry muffins also freeze well for up to 3 months. To thaw a muffin, set it out at room temperature for a couple of hours, or pop it the microwave for about 30 seconds.
