Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain/vanilla yogurt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk, at room temperature
  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin pan with muffin liners.
  2. Mix together the topping ingredients: brown sugar, chopped nuts, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined in a large bowl.
  4. Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy in another bowl.
  5. Add the sour cream or yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Fold in the milk and blueberries gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Sprinkle the topping evenly over each muffin.
  10. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For even more blueberry flavor, reserve some blueberries and gently press them into the muffin tops before baking. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
