Blueberry Muffins



Good morning Sunday! Today was the last day I got to sleep in because, sadly, after a week long break, I have to go back to work tomorrow. I was in a blueberry mood and decided to whip up a batch of "To Die For Blueberry Muffins" off of the Allrecipes.com site. I had been meaning to try it for a while but hadn't gotten around to it until this morning. Better late than never.
I made a few adjustments to the recipe below. I doubled the recipe, except for the sugar. I only used 1 cup of sugar total. I added 2 teaspoons of vanilla and left off the crumb topping altogether. The end result was a tender muffin with nice texture.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
  2. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place 1/3 cup melted butter into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
  3. To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.


That blueberry in the picture almost escaped!

  6. so clever. are they the regular or mini size? any advice for how long to bake if i went with mini cups? I'm taking my boys blueberry picking Friday (playing hooky from school) and thought it would be fun for Luca to bring mini muffins made from the berries he picked to class on Monday. thanks very much!

  7. I'm trying the recipe right now! I'm a little confused though... You listed 1/3 cup and 1/4 cup butter. And the it reads add 1 cup vegetable oil to the egg and milk. But you don't list 'vegetable oil' in the recipe? Did you mean use that 1/3 cup of butter with the egg and milk?

    1. Hi Rachel, thank you for catching that. I've made the correction so it should be melted butter and not vegetable oil. Thanks!
