BLUEBERRY CRUMB MUFFINS



Blueberry Crumb Muffins image

As soon as I saw this title, I just knew it was something I'd have to make. And......it's everything I though it would be. Moist and flavourful, with a wonderful 'crumb' topping. I found it on "a pinch of sugar" recipe blog. The writer - Jen T - mentions that she adapted it from a 'Dorie Greenspan' recipe

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into bits
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4-1 cup blueberries, I prefer the lesser amount

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line or butter muffin tin.
  • To make topping: put flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl and toss together. Add in the cold butter bits, and toss to coat, then use your fingers to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until you have irregularly shaped crumbs. Set aside the mix in the refrigerator while you prepare the batter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the brown sugar.
  • In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla together until well combined.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry, and fold together quickly to blend. Fold in the blueberries. The batter will be lumpy.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, sprinkle some topping over each muffin, and use your fingertips to gently press the crumbs into the batter.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a thin knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
  • Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH CRUMB TOPPING



Blueberry Muffins with Crumb Topping image

These amazing blueberry muffins are flavored with citrus zest and topped with a crunchy streusel crumb, for the perfect baked treat!

Provided by Joanne Ozug

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup all-purpose flour ((72g))
1/2 cup sugar ((112g))
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter (melted (salted or unsalted both work))
1.5 cups all-purpose flour ((212g))
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Zest of 2 meyer lemons ((or do zest of 1 orange plus zest of 1 lemon))
1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted (about 5.33 tbsp))
1 large egg
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 cups blueberries ((I use frozen))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Start with the streusel crumb topping. In a small bowl, whisk to combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until crumbs form. Chill in the refrigerator while you continue with the recipe.
  • For the muffin batter, in a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and citrus zest.
  • In another large bowl, whisk to combine the melted butter, egg, and buttermilk. It's fine if it looks curdled or lumpy.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and stir just enough to bring the batter together. It will be thick and lumpy, and that's fine. Take care not to overstir, which can make your muffins tough.
  • Dump in the blueberries, and fold them in gently, just enough to distribute them somewhat evenly. Take care not to stir too much, or your batter will turn purple.
  • Use a large 3-Tbsp cookie scoop and scoop slightly overfilled portions evenly into the 12 lined muffin wells.
  • Remove the crumb topping from the fridge and break up the crumbs with your fingertips, sprinkling the topping onto each of the muffin batter scoops.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes, until the crumbs are golden brown. To make sure they are done inside, I gently press my fingertip in the top center of the muffin. It should spring back to the touch.
  • They can be enjoyed warm out of the oven, but I personally find the flavor to be at its best after they've cooled for about 2 hours. Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 10 muffins, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground mace (I use nutmeg)
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 orange, zest of, grated
2 large eggs
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk (I use the buttermilk substitute from this site)
1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375. Have ready one 12-cup muffin pan. Grease 10 of the cups and fill any unused cups with water to prevent warping. (I usually grease 11 of the cups and grease the top of the pan as well since they have big muffin tops).
  • To make the topping, in a small bowl, stir together the flour, sugars, cinnamon, and mace (or nutmeg). Cut the butter into pieces and, using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • To make the muffins, stir together the flour, sugars, bakng powder, baking soda, salt and orange zest in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk toghether the eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and buttermilk. Stir the butter milk mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined. The batter should be lumpy. Fold the blueberries into the batter just until evenly distributed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling it level with the rim of the cup. Sprinkle each muffin with some crumb topping.
  • Bake until golden, dry, and springy to the touch, 20 -25 minutes. A cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes, then remove each muffin from its cup with a small metal spatula. Serve warm.

Tips:

- Use fresh or frozen blueberries for the best flavor. - If using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using. - Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour can make the muffins dry. - Mix the batter until just combined. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. - Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will rise too much and spill over the edges of the cups. - Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the muffins dry. - Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. - Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. - Freeze the muffins for up to 2 months. To freeze the muffins, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Then, transfer the muffins to a freezer-safe bag or container.
