Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 unit egg, large
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.25 cups sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 1.5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
In a medium bowl, combine 0.75 cups of milk, 0.5 cups of melted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be lumpy.
Fold in 1.5 cups of blueberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
To make the almond streusel topping, combine 0.25 cups of sliced almonds, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of flour in a small bowl. Add 1.5 tablespoons of cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the mixture into a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the almond streusel evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
