Ingredients

For the Muffins

  • 2 1/2 cups All purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cool (1 stick)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (any will do)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries*

Topping

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Grease an entire 12 count muffin tin, including the rim, with non stick spray or shortening.
  • Prepare topping by mixing together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir in melted butter. It should resemble a crumbly mixture. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, stir the melted butter with the sugar. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir gently until mostly combined. Fold in the blueberries.
  • Pour batter equally into 12 muffin cups. Fill all the way to the top.
  • Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the topping over the batter.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425, then, while the muffins are still in the oven, lower heat to 375 and bake additional 15 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool about 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Enjoy!

Notes

*If using frozen blueberries, which I do in the cooler months, I like to defrost them on a paper towel lined plate and dry almost completely. Takes about two hours or so. One CAN use completely frozen blueberries, but may need a couple extra minutes of baking time. Generally, I recommend thawing them. 
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
