Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1/3 to 1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Cut in the butter until crumbly. Refrigerate the streusel while preparing the muffin batter.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, both sugars, salt, and baking powder.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk oil, egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
5. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Add more milk if batter is too thick.
6. Toss blueberries with a teaspoon of flour and fold into the batter.
7. Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full. Top generously with chilled streusel.
8. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
9. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
1. Tossing the blueberries in flour prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
2. Chilling the streusel helps it stay crumbly during baking, resulting in a crisp top.
3. For a citrusy twist, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for extra brightness.
