Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups milk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 unit egg, large
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 0.25 cups sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 1.5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine 0.75 cups of milk, 0.5 cups of melted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in 1.5 cups of blueberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

To make the almond streusel topping, combine 0.25 cups of sliced almonds, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of flour in a small bowl. Add 1.5 tablespoons of cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the mixture into a crumbly texture.

Step 8

Sprinkle the almond streusel evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
