📋 Ingredients:

For the Muffins:

  • 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 large egg 🥚
  • 1/3 cup milk (use more if needed) 🥛
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries 🫐

For the Crumb Topping:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍬
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed and softened 🧈
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 🌿

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Muffins:

  1. Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  1. Mix dry ingredients:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  1. Add wet ingredients:
  • In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil, egg, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, add the vanilla extract, and stir just until the batter comes together. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  1. Fold in blueberries:
  • Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

2. Make the Crumb Topping:

  1. Mix the topping:
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add the cubed butter and use a fork or your fingers to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Assemble the Muffins:

  1. Fill muffin cups:
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  1. Add crumb topping:
  • Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin.

4. Bake:

  1. Bake the muffins:
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

5. Serve:

  1. Cool and serve:
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

🍽️ Tips:

  • Frozen blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent them from bleeding into the muffins.
  • Storing: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  • Extra flavor: Add a hint of lemon zest to the batter for a citrusy twist.
