for the muffins

  • All-purpose flour: The main ingredient used for making muffins is the all-purpose flour. If you are making gluten-free muffins, use gluten-free all-purpose flour. Or you can use coconut flour or almond flour as well. Plus, you can also use whole wheat flour. Whatever you require, you can use ingredients accordingly.
  • White sugar: white granulated sugar adds sweetness to these muffins. If you want a caramel-like flavor, use light brown sugar. Or you can use coconut sugar for this purpose as well.
  • Baking powder: Baking powder is an essential baking ingredient that makes your Blueberry Streusel Muffins airy and light. Furthermore, it ensures the muffins rise perfectly well.
  • Vegetable oil: You can use any vegetable oil for this recipe. Canola oil or coconut oil works best for me.
  • Egg: Make sure you use a very large egg for this recipe. Eggs give the muffins a texture and make them fluffy. 
  • Milk: Milk gives this mixture consistency. Plus, it also gives the muffins a fluffy texture.
  • Fresh blueberries: I prefer using fresh blueberries for these muffins. However, if you can’t find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries as well. Make sure you thaw them first so that there is no additional moisture in them.
  • Salt: A dash of salt balances out the sweetness of the muffin and also elevates the flavors.

topping ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: The main ingredient used to make old-fashioned crumb muffins is all-purpose flour. As I have mentioned before, you can use gluten-free all-purpose for this recipe as well.
  • White sugar: Use white granulated sugar for the sweetness and texture of the crumb.
  • Butter: Use unsalted and cold butter for the topping. When baked, butter makes the crumb crispy and adds a buttery texture.
  • Ground Cinnamon: Cinnamon adds a heartwarming, rich, slightly sweet, and woodsy flavor to the topping. Its flavor and aroma make these muffins very comforting thing to enjoy.

FAQs

how long will muffins keep?

You can store these muffins at room temperature in a cool, dry place, and they will stay fresh for 3 days. Moreover, you can place them in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life for up to a week. Because the topping will get soggy as you store them, you will have to reheat them in the oven for at least 10 minutes to get the crispiness back. 

Moreover, you can also freeze these muffins. Once they are cool, wrap them in a heavy-duty aluminum foil and place them in a plastic zip-lock bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw, reheat, and enjoy!

What can you use instead of a pastry cutter?

If you don’t have a pastry cutter, no worries. You can use a fork to mix the topping ingredients. Although it will take a little more time and effort, it will work. If using a fork, make sure you cut the butter into small pieces for your ease.

Can you make blueberry muffins without streusel topping?

Yes, you can definitely make his recipe without making a streusel topping. Simply skip making a crumble for topping and bake the muffins without anything on top. The muffins are moist, fluffy, and tasteful, even without a topping.

How to adjust the consistency of this muffin batter?

For best results, the batter should have a medium consistency, i.e., and it should neither be too thick nor too thin. If it is too thick, add more milk and adjust the consistency. If it is too thin, add more all-purpose flour.

Can I replace baking soda with baking powder?

Baking soda is also widely used in baking. For the same purpose as baking powder serves. However, because baking soda is strong, if you are replacing it with baking powder, use ¼ tbsp of baking soda for 1 tbsp of baking powder.

what to serve with streusel muffins

Muffins go great with coffee, tea, or a tall glass of cold milk.
