Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of flour, ½ cup of sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Add Blueberries: Fold in the fresh blueberries gently, so they don’t break.
  6. Make the Streusel: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel. Mix in the melted butter until crumbly.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin and sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
  8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm!

What to Serve Blueberry Bliss Muffins With

These muffins are a wonderful standalone treat, but you can elevate your breakfast experience by pairing them with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of honey. They also go perfectly with a steaming cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of orange juice. If you’re going the extra mile, consider serving them alongside a fruit salad or with a side of scrambled eggs for a satisfying breakfast spread!

Top Tips for Perfecting Blueberry Bliss Muffins

  • Choosing Berries: Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but if you’re in a bind, frozen ones can work too. Just make sure to thaw and drain them first.
  • Don’t Overmix: A light hand is key when mixing the batter. Overmixing can result in dense muffins, not the airy texture we want!
  • Egg Temperature Matters: For best results, make sure your egg and milk are at room temperature to allow for a better batter consistency.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have any muffins left (which is unlikely!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap and place them in a resealable freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to three months! When you’re ready to enjoy them, just reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds or pop them in the oven for a few minutes to refresh their delightful texture.

Blueberry Bliss Muffins with Crunchy Streusel Perfection are more than just a recipe; they’re a delightful way to brighten your mornings. Easy to make and incredibly satisfying, these muffins are waiting for you to give them a try! Happy baking!
