Serving Size 12 muffins

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.33 cups vegetable oil (neutral oil like canola or light olive oil)
  • 1 large egg Use room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.33 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened plant milk)

Blueberry Topping

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (can substitute frozen; do not thaw)

Crumble Topping

  • 0.5 cups brown sugar for crumble
  • 0.5 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned oats give the best texture)
  • 0.25 cups butter, melted (unsalted preferred)

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until evenly distributed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, egg, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until you no longer see dry streaks. A few lumps are okay.
  • Fold the blueberries into the batter carefully so they stay whole.

Crumble Preparation

  • In a small bowl, stir the brown sugar, rolled oats, and melted butter to form the crumble topping. It should be clumpy.

Filling and Baking

  • Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter, then sprinkle the crumble evenly over each filled cup.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through if your oven bakes unevenly. Muffins are done when the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Best served with a smear of butter or cream cheese. Store in airtight container and reheat before serving for best taste.
