Ingredients
Method
Blueberry Syrup
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix together 1 cup blueberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Heat until the sugar is dissolved and the blueberries are broken down, about 5 minutes. You may need to break down the blueberries a little more with a fork. This will make about 0.75 cup of syrup.
Blueberry Muffin Batter
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1.25 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the 0.5 cup melted butter, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 0.5 cup whole milk.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the 1.5 cups blueberries.
Crumble Topping
- To make the crumble topping, mix together the 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, 0.33 cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 0.25 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 pinch salt, and 0.25 cup melted butter in a small bowl.
Assembly & Baking
- Fill each muffin cup just about full with the batter.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of blueberry syrup on top of each muffin.
- Sprinkle about 1.5 tablespoons of the crumble topping over each muffin.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F. After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake another 19-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These muffins are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
