Equipment

Mixing Bowls

You'll need at least two mixing bowls—a large one for the batter and a medium one for the streusel topping. Make sure they're easy to grip for better mixing.

Variations

Want to make these muffins fit your dietary needs? Try these variations:

Gluten-Free: 🌾 Swap the regular flour for a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure your baking powder is also gluten-free. The muffins will still be fluffy and delicious!

Vegan Version: 🌱 Replace the yogurt with a plant-based yogurt, the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water), and use a vegan cream cheese for the topping. You won’t sacrifice any flavor or texture!

Faq

  • What kind of yogurt should I use?

    Any plain yogurt will do, but Greek yogurt will add extra richness to your muffins.

  • Can I use frozen blueberries?

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

  • How do I make the streusel topping more crumbly?

    Use cold butter and mix it in with your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs. This will give you a perfect streusel texture.

  • How can I make my muffins rise more?

    Make sure your baking powder is fresh, and avoid over-mixing the batter. Over-mixing can lead to dense muffins.

  • Can I double the recipe?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to mix in batches if your mixing bowl can’t handle the doubled amount. You may also need to bake them in two batches, depending on your oven capacity.

  • How can I store these muffins?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. Just thaw and warm them up before serving.
