Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt for a couple of minutes.
Add the vegetable oil and sour cream, then mix well.
Sift in the flour and baking powder, then whisk until smooth.
Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula.

Step 2

Prepare the Crunchy Topping

Combine the flour, sugar, and chilled butter in a bowl.
Using your hands, quickly rub the mixture between your fingers until it forms a crumbly texture. Do not overmix to prevent the butter from melting.

Step 3

Bake the Muffins

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Spoon the batter into lined muffin tins.
Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the batter.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden.
Let cool before serving. Enjoy your homemade blueberry muffins!

Servings

🌟 These blueberry muffins are versatile and pair wonderfully with a variety of side dishes and beverages. Here are some serving suggestions:

1. **Coffee or Tea:** Start your morning right with a freshly brewed cup of coffee or tea. The bitterness of the coffee or the mildness of the tea complements the sweetness of the muffins.

2. **Yogurt or Cream:** Serve your muffins with a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. The creamy texture adds a luxurious contrast to the crumbly muffin topping.

3. **Fruit Salad:** A light and refreshing fruit salad on the side makes for a balanced, health-conscious breakfast or brunch.

4. **Picnic Treat:** Pack these muffins in your picnic basket! They hold well and make for an excellent snack while enjoying the great outdoors. 🍃

**Tip:** Reheat your muffins in the microwave for 10 seconds to bring back that fresh-from-the-oven warmth. Enjoy! 😋

Variations

✨ Have special dietary needs? We've got you covered! Here are some variations to make your muffins gluten-free or vegan:

Gluten-Free Variation:
Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the baking powder is also gluten-free. **Voilà!** Gluten-free muffins that taste just as amazing!

Vegan Variation:
1. **Egg Substitute:** Use a reliable egg replacer or make a flaxseed "egg" by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water.
2. **Dairy-Free:** Replace sour cream with a dairy-free yogurt and use a plant-based butter for the topping. **Ta-da!** Vegan muffins everyone will adore! 🌱

Faq

  • How do I prevent my blueberries from sinking to the bottom?

    Toss your blueberries in a bit of flour before folding them into the batter. This helps distribute them more evenly.

  • Can I use frozen blueberries?

    Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the batter.

  • How can I achieve a perfectly crumbly topping?

    Keep the butter chilled and use your hands to mix the topping quickly. Overmixing can cause the butter to melt, making the topping less crumbly.

  • What's the best way to store these muffins?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.

  • How do I adjust the recipe for high-altitude baking?

    At higher altitudes, you may need to reduce the baking powder slightly and increase the baking temperature by 15-25 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Can I double the recipe?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to maintain the same ratios and use larger mixing bowls to accommodate the increased volume.
