Streusel Topping

Blueberry Muffins

  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose four
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar light or dark
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt full fat
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C. In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, and melted butter. Whisk together with a fork until little crumbles form and place in the freezer. 
    2 ½ tablespoon all purpose flour, 2 ½ tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
    1 ¼ cup all purpose four, 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, oil, egg, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until well combined. Add the Greek yogurt and buttermilk and whisk until smooth with no lumps.
    ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, 2 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 large egg, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, ¼ cup buttermilk
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula or large spoon until a few dry streaks of flour are left.
  • In a separate small bowl, coat the blueberries with an additional tablespoon of flour. Fold the blueberries into the muffin batter until no dry streaks of flour remain.
    1 cup frozen blueberries
  • Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick baking spray if desired and place cupcake liners in every other cup. Fill each ¾ full with muffin batter. Sprinkle streusel topping and coarse sugar on top.
  • Bake the muffins for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400°F/200°C and continue baking for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for 10-20 minutes before eating.
