- 1 cup + ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- ½ cup full-fat sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup safflower oil
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
Streusel Topping:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups + 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 cup + ¼ cup sugar, and ¾ teaspoon cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, ½ cup sour cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ¼ cup safflower oil, and ¾ cup whole milk.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Do not overmix.
- Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries.
- For the streusel topping, mix ¼ cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons softened butter, ¼ cup flour, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon until crumbly.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling them to the top. Sprinkle streusel topping over each muffin.
- Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 7 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for 22-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen ones can be used as well.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure light and fluffy muffins.
- For a citrusy twist, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.
- Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2-4 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Freeze muffins for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
