Ingredients
Scale
For the Crumble :
- 45 g flour
- 1 tbsp brown sugar + 1 tbsp white sugar
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
For the Muffins :
- 125 g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 60 ml buttermilk
- 50 g brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- The zest of ½ lemon
- 55 g melted butter
- 50 g blueberries
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the crumble ingredients using a fork until the mixture has a sandy, crumbly texture. Avoid overmixing. Set it aside while you prepare the muffin batter.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan or static).
- Line your muffin tin with paper cases to prevent sticking and make removal effortless.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
- Sifting helps remove lumps and aerates the flour, ensuring light, fluffy muffins.
- In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg until smooth.
- Add the brown sugar and mix well until the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Stir in the buttermilk, lemon zest, and vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Finally, mix in the cooled melted butter until everything is fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, stirring gently each time.
- Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy for tender, moist muffins.
- Gently fold in 50 g of fresh or frozen blueberries using a spatula. Mix just enough to distribute them evenly without breaking them.
- Fill each muffin case 3/4 full with batter.
- Generously sprinkle the prepared crumble on top for a delightful crunch.
- Bake at 200°C for 10 minutes.
- Lower the oven temperature to 180°C and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin—it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If needed, bake for another 5 minutes.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
- Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying these golden, crumbly delights!
