    These really are the Best Blueberry Streusel Muffins! They’re big, beautiful, and tender muffins, loaded with blueberries and crowned with a sweet crunchy streusel topping.

    These really are the Best Blueberry Streusel Muffins!

    Do you have a recipe you consider the best? My good friend Becky, Vintage Mixer, posted several of her best recipes lately, and I couldn’t resist baking “the best blueberry muffins that you’ll ever sink your teeth into.”

    This recipe was given to her by the chef at Communal, and it is a big, beautiful muffin that rises over the top of the muffins cups. It’s loaded with 2 cups of blueberries, which don’t sink to the bottom of the muffin because of the thick, coffee-cake-like batter.

    Our family loves a streusel topping on muffins so I added an easy to make sweet/sandy streusel topping. Muffins without a streusel topping are kind of like cupcakes without frosting. Delicious without it, but irresistible with it. 

    Making The Best Blueberry Streusel Muffins

    I use a scoop to perfectly portion out the muffins, and I love using If You Care Baking Cups. They’re the best muffin / cupcake papers. The muffin pulls away so easily from the paper – no wasted muffin. You can also bake them without the muffin papers, but clean up is so much easier if you use papers.

    Making the streusel topping with oil gives it a great sandy texture, but if you prefer, you can substitute butter for the oil.

    Baking Tip:

    When baking something that comes together as quickly as muffins, it’s especially important to have all your ingredients gathered together and ready to go (mis en place). If you have everything assembled, from scratch muffins don’t take much more time than muffins from a box.

    Cut your butter into pieces so it comes to room temperature quickly.

    This recipe uses ½ cup (1 stick) of room temperature butter. To quickly warm up your butter, cut it into slices and let it sit in the bowl while you assemble all your ingredients.

    I like to make the streusel topping first so that it’s ready to sprinkle on and I don’t get lazy and leave it off.

    These really are the Best Blueberry Streusel Muffins! They're big, beautiful, and tender muffins, loaded with blueberries and crowned with a sweet crunchy streusel topping.

    Update: These really are the best muffins! It’s become one of my most popular recipes. If you haven’t made them yet, definitely give them a try.

    If you have a recipe you consider THE BEST, I’d love to hear about it!

      Do frozen blueberries change the baking time?

        They shouldn’t but you can always test them before taking them from the oven.

      Delicious! Didn’t have a springboard pan, so I used a glass pie plate! Worked fabulously.

      These were more dense than I expected. I was hoping for a fluffy blueberry muffin and these turned out too eggy.

      My streusel topping melted into the muffin. I had a little leftover so I sprinkled that on top after they were baked so they would look like yours. Haven’t tried them yet.

      I made these muffins yesterday and took them into work today. They were amazing! Safe to say they didn’t last long at all and I’m going to need to make more. The streusel topping give them that extra boost! Delicious.
