Perfect Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Few things capture the cozy charm of homemade baking like a batch of Perfect Blueberry Streusel Muffins. These beauties rise high with golden tops, bursting with juicy blueberries and crowned with a buttery, crumbly streusel. Whether you’re prepping for a weekend brunch, a quick breakfast, or just craving a bakery-style treat, these muffins bring comfort with every bite.

Their soft, tender crumb and warm vanilla aroma make them irresistible fresh from the oven. But that crumbly topping? That’s where the magic really happens. It delivers just the right crunch, contrasting beautifully with the moist, blueberry-filled base. They’re easy to make, freezable, and guaranteed to disappear fast.

What Kind of Blueberries Should I Use?

Both fresh and frozen blueberries work great in this recipe. If using frozen, don’t thaw them before mixing—this helps prevent the batter from turning purple. Wild blueberries are smaller and spread more evenly through the muffins, while fresh, plump ones give you juicy pockets in every bite.

Ingredients for the Perfect Blueberry Streusel Muffins

• All-purpose flour: Forms the structure of the muffin, and balances the moisture of the blueberries.
• Granulated sugar: Adds sweetness to the batter and helps create that golden top.
• Baking powder: Gives the muffins their rise.
• Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
• Milk: Adds moisture and helps bind the dry ingredients.
• Egg: Provides structure and helps the muffins set.
• Vanilla extract: Rounds out the flavor with a sweet, aromatic finish.
• Butter (melted): Delivers richness and a tender crumb.
• Blueberries: The star of the show! Fresh or frozen both shine.
• Brown sugar, flour, and butter (for the streusel): Create that buttery, crumbly topping you can’t skip.

How To Make the Perfect Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners. This ensures an easy release and crispy muffin edges.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This creates the dry base of the batter.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth. Make sure the butter isn’t too hot or it will cook the egg.

Step 4: Bring it All Together

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

Step 5: Fold in the Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries, using a spatula to distribute them evenly. If using frozen berries, toss them with a teaspoon of flour first.

Step 6: Make the Streusel

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, and melted butter until crumbly. Spoon the streusel over each muffin before baking.

Step 7: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a rack.
