Gourmet Bakery Blueberry Muffins

Impressive blueberry muffins worthy of a gourmet bakery. Made easily in one bowl, do not over-stir the batter. Even if a few streaks of flour remain, this is key to prevent flat muffins. Sprinkle with crumb topping recipe below before baking.

Ingredients

For the Muffins:

Instructions

  • Make the crumb topping:
  • In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons flour, 2 Tablespoons butter and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Press butter into dry ingredients with a fork until all ingredients are incorporated. Mixture will be lumpy. Set aside.
  • Make the muffins:
  • Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Butter muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour, ¾ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup oil, 1 egg and ⅓ cup buttermilk. Whisk to incorporate.
  • Stir liquid mixture into dry ingredients and stir just to combine. You will have a lot of flour that is still visible. This is okay.
  • Sprinkle 1 teaspoon flour over 6 ounces blueberries and toss to coat. Gently fold blueberries into batter.
  • Fill muffin tins ¾ full.
  • Sprinkle desired amount of crumb topping over each muffin (less is more here).
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tops are golden. Do not overbake.
  • Remove from oven and let cool at least 10 minutes on cooling rack before serving.

Cook's Note:

  • This recipe makes 6 large muffins or 12 regular size muffins. The crumb topping adds a nice delicate crunch but for best results, don't add too much. If you add too much topping, the muffin tops may burn. A good amount is about 1 teaspoon topping per muffin.
