Scale
Muffin Base Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons (15 milliliters) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) salt
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) yogurt
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Fresh Fruit Ingredients:
- 2 1/3 cups (560 milliliters) blueberries
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 milliliters) flour (for tossing blueberries)
Streusel Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup (130 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 stick (113 grams) salted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375F (190C) and arranging paper liners in a muffin tin for optimal muffin formation.
- Create a dry ingredient foundation by whisking flour, baking powder, and salt together in a spacious mixing bowl until uniformly combined.
- Develop a creamy wet mixture by vigorously beating eggs and sugar until they transform into a light, airy texture, then incorporate yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Gently merge the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender muffin texture.
- Coat blueberries in a light flour dusting to prevent sinking, then delicately fold them into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Distribute the batter evenly across muffin cups, strategically placing additional blueberries on top for visual appeal and burst of fruit in each bite.
- Craft a rustic streusel topping by combining flour, sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon, working the ingredients until they form a crumbly, textured mixture.
- Generously sprinkle the streusel crumbs over each muffin, creating a crunchy, aromatic crown.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick emerges clean and the muffins develop a golden-brown exterior.
- Allow muffins to rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and optimal texture development.
Notes
- Prevent blueberries from sinking by coating them lightly in flour, which helps suspend them evenly throughout the muffin batter.
- Create tender muffins by mixing wet and dry ingredients minimally, stopping when just combined to avoid developing tough gluten strands.
- Swap yogurt with dairy-free alternatives like almond or coconut yogurt for a vegan-friendly version of these delightful muffins.
- Enhance nutritional value by substituting some all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or adding ground nuts for extra protein and texture.
