For this blueberry muffin recipe, I used nothing but the best blueberries. Wild blueberries from Maine. Yum! There is just a difference you can taste with wild blueberries, versus regular blueberries you get at the grocery store all year round.
This is the time of the year when most grocery stores have the wild blueberries. Or, if you are lucky and happen to have wild blueberry bushes near you, you can pick them when they are ready, and freeze some to make yummy recipes like this one!
Although I do recommend using wild blueberries, you can absolutely use regular blueberries as well. The recipe will still come out the same, and the muffins will still taste amazing!
So, first things first, you want to prepare your cinnamon streusel topping.
You will need flour, cinnamon, melted butter, and sugar.
Mix all of these ingredients together in a small bowl, and set aside.
The mixture will resemble sand…I think it looks like sand at least. It doesn’t taste like sand though!
Now, you want to prepare your muffin batter.
For this, you will need milk, sugar, melted butter, two eggs, baking powder, baking soda, flour, salt, vanilla extract, and blueberries.
In a large bowl with a hand held mixer, or standing mixer, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Now add in the eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Now you want to gently fold in your blueberries with a spatula, careful not to smush them too much, or you will end up with purple tie dye muffins. Which wouldn’t be a bad thing actually. I think that would look kinda cool!
Look at those beautiful blue beauties!!
Now you want to make sure you spray your muffin tin with cooking spray or line them with muffin cups.
add the batter to each muffin cup. Make sure to fill batter right to the top.
Now its time to sprinkle your cinnamon streusel mixture on top of each muffin.
As you can see, there is really no way of being neat with this step…
Now its time to pop these guys in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes at 375.
Once 20 minutes is up, turn the heat up to 425 degrees, and cook for 5 minutes longer.
And they are done!
Enjoy my friends!
