Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
Crumb topping
- ⅓ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F or 200 degrees C. Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin-cup liners.
- Whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl until combined and set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with beater paddle (I use my Kitchenaid) or in a separate bowl, mix together butter and sugar till creamy. Add the egg and continue mixing till light and fluffy, about a minute. Then add buttermilk and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add the dry ingredients slowly and stir just until combined. Fold in blueberries. Divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- Make crumb topping: Combine oats, sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a bowl. Cut in softened butter with a fork. Sprinkle topping evenly over muffins. Bake at 400° F for 15-18 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool muffins in pan for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack.
Notes
The muffin mixture is sticky and thicker than most muffin batters that you might have made. This is perfectly fine.
Use two spoons to scrape and drop the batter into muffin cups. This recipe will make 12 perfect size muffins.
If making mini muffins, adjust the baking time. I would say start checking at the 12 minute mark.
These freeze beautifully, cool and store in freezer bags. Thaw and heat up in a toaster oven to enjoy.
These muffins are mildly sweet. If you want to satisfy your sweet tooth, toast a muffin in a toaster oven, drizzle with honey or maple syrup and devour!
