My Best Blueberry Muffins

Delicious homemade blueberry muffins, perfect for breakfast or a delightful snack, featuring sweet, juicy blueberries and a crunchy topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain/vanilla yogurt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk, at room temperature
  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin pan with liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix together the topping ingredients: brown sugar, chopped nuts, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside for later.
  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  4. Beat the softened butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth in another bowl.
  5. Add the sour cream (or yogurt), eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  7. Pour in the milk and fold in the blueberries gently to avoid breaking them.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  9. Sprinkle the prepared topping over each muffin.
  10. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature before mixing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
