Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for crumble topping)
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed (for crumble topping)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumble topping)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble topping. Add the cold butter and use a fork or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over each muffin.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best results, but frozen can be used without thawing. Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Customize the topping with nutmeg or chopped nuts for extra flavor. Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
