How to make blueberry muffins?
Share on social media:
For the Streusel Topping:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter to the mixture.
2. Using your fingers, crumble the butter and flour together until a shaggy mixture forms. You can press large handfuls together and then gently break them apart to create clumps of various sizes.
For the Muffins:
1. To prepare these delicious blueberry muffins, begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F and either greasing your muffin tin or lining it with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then set the mixture aside.
3. Toss the blueberries in a tablespoon of the dry mixture to coat them, which will help prevent them from sinking in the batter.
4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, milk, sugar, vanilla, eggs, lemon juice, sour cream, and lemon zest until combined.
5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix until almost combined, then fold in the blueberries.
6. Fill the wells of your prepared muffin tin with the batter, filling them to the top, and top each muffin with streusel.
7. Bake for about 20 minutes at 400F, and if desired, place a ramekin filled halfway with water in the oven to keep the muffins moist. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for at least 10 minutes before removing.
Tips for making blueberry muffins:
- Avoid overmixing the batter for perfect muffins. Overmixing can result in dense muffins or large holes in the crumb.
- Ensure correct flour measurement for light muffins. Measuring too much flour can make the muffins dense. Using a scale is the most reliable way to measure flour. But if you don’t have one, use a spoon to fluff the flour, spoon it into the cups, and level it off with a knife.
- Avoid opening the oven door while baking to prevent the muffins from deflating.
- Zest the lemon before juicing it. Juicing first will make it challenging to zest the lemon.
- Bring eggs, milk, and sour cream to room temperature to ensure they mix correctly into the batter.
- For the best flavor, use real vanilla extract instead of artificial vanilla extract.
- Use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin.
