Blueberry Muffins with Crumb Topping

These are the best blueberry muffins filled with juicy blueberries and topped with streusel. 

These homemade blueberry muffins are made with frozen blueberries, but you can use fresh berries too. The inside is tender and moist and the crumb topping adds a delightful crisp. 

If made ahead of time, they make a great on-the-go breakfast. 

They are also a delicious after school snack. You can always toss them in your kiddos lunch box too.

If you love muffins, you'll probably like some of my other muffin recipes like my donut muffins,  almond poppy seed muffinspumpkin chocolate chip muffins, or cream cheese pumpkin muffins.

Applesauce oat muffins are one of my kids favorites. If you have extra zucchini from the garden, zucchini muffins are a delicious way to use them up. 

INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH YOGURT

  • butter
  • vegetable oil
  • sugar
  • brown sugar
  • egg
  • vanilla Greek yogurt
  • vanilla extract
  • salt
  • baking powder
  • baking soda
  • flour
  • blueberries


Butter: The butter for the muffin portion of the recipe should be softened. Let it sit out for an hour or so before beginning. If you forget, you can microwave for 10 seconds or less. It should not be melted! 

On the other hand, use melted butter for the streusel part of the recipe.

Yogurt: The recipe works best when you use Greek yogurt. I love the vanilla flavored Greek yogurt, but plain will work too.  Regular yogurt can be substituted in a pinch, but the texture of the muffins will change. Sour cream can also be substituted.

Blueberries: You can use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not worry about thawing them. Just add them to the batter straight from the freezer. (I typically use frozen berries)

Place paper muffin liners in the muffin pan. Spray each liner with cooking spray.

Add a generous scoop of blueberry muffin batter in each cavity of the pan. The batter should fill about 3/4 of the way full. 

Tip: You can add a few blueberries to the top of each muffin before adding the crumb topping. This helps others to know what type of muffins they are and it looks pretty. (I did not remember to do this.)

Sprinkle with the crumb topping.

Bake at 375 for 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
