The texture is moist and fluffy, with a slightly crispy top. It's a delicious treat that melts in your mouth. Now, let's get baking!


Ingredients


Dry ingredients:


  • All-purpose flour
  • Sugar
  • Baking powder

Wet ingredients:


  • Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt adds moisture, tangy flavor, and richness to the muffins.
  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Unsalted butter: It adds richness and flavor.
  • Fresh blueberry
  • Lemon juice (or lemon zest): It adds a bright, tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the blueberries. I strongly recommend adding it!


Streusel topping:

The streusel topping is made from a simple mixture of butter, flour, and powdered sugar. The crumbly topping adds a sweet, buttery crunch to the moist, tender muffin!


Starbucks blueberry muffin baking process


Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin pan with muffin liners or paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour mixture: all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar.

In a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients: greek yogurt, milk, eggs, unsalted butter, lemon juice(or lemon zest). Mix until smooth.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should have a thick consistency. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to keep them intact.

Making the delicious streusel: In a medium bowl, combine unsalted butter, flour, and powdered sugar. Mix with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.

Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the top of the muffins before baking. Make sure the streusel mixture is crumbly and evenly distributed to ensure a crunchy, sweet topping.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

FAQ


Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. To prevent them from bleeding into the batter, toss the frozen blueberries in a bit of flour before adding them to the muffin batter. Do not thaw them before use.

Can I make mini muffins with this recipe?

Yes, you can use the same batter to make mini muffins. Adjust the baking time to about 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

How do I prevent blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins?

Toss the blueberries in a bit of flour before adding them to the batter. This helps suspend them more evenly throughout the muffins.

Can I add other ingredients to the muffin batter?

Absolutely! You can add nuts like almonds, walnuts, or even a handful of oats to the batter for extra texture. Just make sure not to overload the batter to maintain the right consistency.

Are there any healthier substitutions for the ingredients?

You can use whole wheat flour or a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour for added fiber. Greek yogurt is already a healthier option for adding moisture. You can also reduce the sugar or use a sugar substitute.
