How to Make Crumb Top Blueberry Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin. Grease 10 cups and fill the remaining 2 cups with water to prevent warping during baking.
  3. **Make the Crumb Topping:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground mace.
  4. Cut in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. **Make the Muffins:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup buttermilk.
  7. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  8. Fold in 2 cups fresh blueberries until evenly distributed.
  9. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  10. Sprinkle each muffin generously with the crumb topping.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown and springy to the touch.
  12. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them with a small metal spatula.
  13. Serve warm and enjoy!
