My favorite Blueberry Muffins recipe yields soft and moist muffins with a crumble topping that is bakery-quality. Enjoy them anytime or freeze for a quick breakfast on-the-go or snack.
This classic Blueberry Muffins is one of those staples that everyone needs in their recipe box. Classic recipes that you can always count on, and everyone loves. They take just a few minutes to whip together and they make the BEST, bakery-style, moist and delicious muffins. The delicious crumb topping really makes them next-level!
How to make Blueberry Muffins:
- Combine dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
- Add oil, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla and mix just until combined. Don't over mix (the batter doesn't need to be “smooth”).
- Toss the blueberries in a spoonful of flour. This will help them not to sink to the bottom of the muffin. Gently fold blueberries into the batter.
- Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter.
- Make the crumb topping by adding all ingredients to a bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to work the butter into the mixture.
- Sprinkle crumb mixture over the tops of muffins in the pan.
- Bake for for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- Remove muffins from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Freezing Instructions:
Allow the muffins to cool completely, then place them in a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw the frozen muffins, allow them to come to room temperature or place one muffin in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.

These muffins are fabulous! Everytime I make them someone asks for the recipe. They are always a hit!
These are absolutely delicious! Thank you!
These muffins taste wonderful! I have made this recipe a couple of times and I seem to have one problem: the centers all sink. They are fully cooked and taste great but what could be causing the huge dip in the middle of my muffins? I have been baking a long time and this recipe is the first time this has happened…every time I make them. Any feedback would be appreciated. I followed the recipe to the T each time I’ve made them. Help! They taste good but I want them to pretty muffins too!!
I’m glad you love the taste! Sinking centers can be caused by a few things: overmixing the batter, the oven temperature being too low, or opening the oven door too early. Try mixing just until combined, ensuring your oven is properly preheated, and avoid opening the door until they’re almost done. Hope this helps make them look as good as they taste!
I made this recipe with and without the crumb topping. It’s definitely the crumb topping that made the center sink.
These are wayyyyy too good!! I made them 3 days ago and they’re already all gone and have been requested to make another batch! Thank you for sharing your recipe!
