Homemade Blueberry Muffins with a crumble streusel topping that are ready in just 30 minutes! They're perfect for breakfast meal prep or weekend brunch.
Blueberry Muffins worth fighting over.
I've been making these homemade blueberry muffins for years, and they never fail to disappear within minutes of coming out of the oven. I love that you can use fresh or frozen blueberries and they're so simple to make and taste bakery worthy. The baked muffins also freeze great for the kid's lunchboxes, or an afternoon snack.

How to Make Blueberry Muffins From Scratch:
Make Muffin Batter: Stir flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix oil, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla. Stir just until combined, don't over mix! Toss the blueberries with a spoonful of flour (a good trick so they don't sink to the bottom!). Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
Fill Pan and Top With Streusel: Using a pastry blender, fork, or your fingers, mix all of the ingredients for the crumb topping until it's a course sand texture.
Bake: Place muffin tin in the oven and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes, or until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with just a few crumbs. Remove muffins from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes then remove these easy blueberry muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Outstanding!!! I have never made blueberry muffins taste as good as this recipe. I in fact had some Meyer lemons so I added a little and they turned out fantastic and my husband cannot quit eating them and he usually does not eat muffins, especially blueberry. I thoroughly enjoy baking, especially when the end result turn out as good as these did.
Thank you for your wonderful recipe I am living in Abruzzo Italy i love 💕 bake these greatest thank you 💕
These were great! I make muffins weekly and love recipes I can make with just a spoon & bowl no mixer required for early-morning baking! I forgot to put the flour in the streusel and they still turned out great
Best blueberry muffin! Crumb topping is so good. I add a little but more blueberries
awesome recepies, tha nks for sharing them with me/
These are absolutely soooooo delicious! I was looking to an alternative to store bought packages that are filled with chemicals and this was definitely it. My oldest daughter now makes these all by herself (she’s 11) for us. We are pretty much obsessed with them. I substitute applesauce for the egg because I have an egg allergy but they still turn out divine every single time. The crumb topping adds so much flavor too (although we omit the cinnamon because my girls didn’t care for it).
Fantastic recipe! Don’t skip the topping! Thank you.
this was absolutely wonderful!!! some of the best muffins i’ve had in a very long time!!
They came out so pretty and tasted great! I used the butter milk substitute. Will definitely make these again.
Mine turned out wonderful! Thank you for this. i substituted the egg with 3 tbsp of greek yoghurt out of preference.
