How to Make Best Easy Blueberry Crumb Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with 18 paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup white whole wheat flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter), 2 large eggs, and enough milk (dairy or non-dairy) to reach 2 cups total liquid.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  7. Prepare the crumb topping: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons cold butter (cut into small pieces), and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Use a fork to mix until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the muffins.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
