Ingredients
For The Topping
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
For The Muffin
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
For The Topping
- In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and butter. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to mix the ingredients until they resemble coarse crumbs. Set aside.
For The Muffins
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well. Fold in the sour cream.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In a small bowl, gently toss the blueberries with a small amount (about 1 Tablespoon) of flour to prevent sinking in the muffins.
- Either spray your muffin tin with cooking spray or use paper liners. Fill the muffin cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling them to the top. Top each muffin with some of the streusel mixture.
- Bake the muffins for 10 minutes at 400 degrees fahrenheit then reduce to 350 degrees fahrenheit and continue baking for 15 - 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown. The higher temperature at the start of baking allows the muffin top to "crisp" up. Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the pan to a wire rack.
