Blueberry Muffins with Crunchy Streusel Topping

Jump to Recipe

The most heavenly bakery style blueberry muffins. Packed full of blueberries, these muffins are the ultimate breakfast/snack/dessert! What makes them the best in my opinion is the crunchy streusel topping made with brown sugar, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and butter! The balance of the soft cake-y muffin and the sugary crunch on top is unbeatable. Your fam and friends will love them, trust me! You’ll never go to a different muffin after this one.

How To Make Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping:

First comes the topping, and it’s super simple.

Step 1: Chop walnuts, and add in cinnamon, and brown sugar. Pour butter over the ingredients and mix with a fork. Done! Set aside for later.

Now, here is the bulk of the work. The Batter!!

Step 2: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line and/or spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray, set aside. (The non-stick spray over the cupcakes liners allows for an easy removal at the end.) Mix all of the streusel ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 3: In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

Step 4: In a large bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter and both sugars on high until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then beat in sour cream and vanilla. 

Step 5: lowly beat in dry ingredients alternating with the milk until no flour pockets remain in the batter. Fold in 1¼ cups of blueberries, reserving ¼ cup. Spoon batter into the liners all the way to the top.

Step 6: Add remaining ¼ cup of blueberries on the tops of the muffins, then lightly pack streusel topping over the muffins.

Step 7: Bake muffins for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 18-19 minutes. Let muffins cool for about 15 minutes before removing for the pan. Enjoy!
