Hungry for more? Have a look at my sweet Breakfast Recipes.

Blueberry Streusel Muffins with juicy blueberries kept on a white borad.

How do you like your Blueberry Muffins? I like mine soft and tall. Huge on flavors, loaded with juicy berries that don’t sink to the bottom.  Oh and topped with crunchy cinnamon streusel topping!

Well these muffins are everything I just mentioned and more!

Muffins: Taste and Texture:

  • Soft and Fluffy
  • Moist but not soggy
  • Overflowing with sweet berries
  • A great texture contrast from walnut cinnamon crumb on the top

Recipe Ingredients:

Wet and dry ingredients for Blueberry Muffins.

These muffins use very basic and simple ingredients that you might already have in your pantry! Just make sure to bring them to room temperature before beginning.

  • Buttermilk: You can easily make Butter milk at home, if you don’t have it handy.Take a Tbsp of vinegar in a liquid measuring cup and fill the rest with milk, up to 1 cup mark. There you have a cup of Homemade buttermilk. I use it to make breakfast muffins, coffee cake and even these chocolate cupcakes.
  • Leavener: We are using baking powder as opposed to baking soda in this batter. This will make sure that your blueberries won’t turn green after baking.
  • Blueberries: Coat blueberries (washed and dried) with a tbsp of flour that you measured out to bake muffins, before adding them to the batter.
  • Oil: You can also use creamed butter to make these muffins. But I prefer oil as it makes super moist muffins, that stay soft for days!

For Streusel Topping:

Crunchy Cinnamon Streusel topping made with brown sugar, cinnamon and walnuts.

Tall and moist blueberry muffins topped with crunchy streusel, cooling down in a muffin pan.

  • Brown Sugar: Both light and dark brown sugars will work here. I went for light one in this recipe.
  • Walnuts: I like to chop my walnuts finely but you may use slightly bigger chunks if you wish! Also pecans can be substituted here.

How to make Berry Muffins:

Folding dry ingredients into wet for muffin batter
Folding flour coated berries in blueberry muffin batter.

Easiest way ever!

  1. Whisk all the wet ingredients in a medium bowl.
  2. Sift dry ingredients (over wet) and fold just until combined.
  3. Fold in blueberries.
  4. Top with streusel topping.
  5. Bake at 425 deg F initially for 5 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 350 deg F and continue to bake till muffins are done.

How to make Streusel Topping:

Tall and fluffy Blueberry Streusel Muffins filled with sweet and juicy berries.

This is the simplest topping ever! Plus it goes well with all the fruity muffins, vanilla muffins, chocolate chip muffins and the list goes on!

Just combine brown sugar, ground cinnamon and chopped walnuts in a small bowl till everything is mixed well and you are all set.

Blueberry Muffins Faqs:

Why are my blueberry muffins flat?

  • Check you haven’t used stale leaveners in the batter
  • Don’t reduce the quantity of leaveners from what any recipe states
  • Make sure you haven’t over mixed the muffin batter

Should you wash blueberries before baking?

I suggest you wash fresh berries before using to get rid of any bacteria or pesticides on them. Allow them to dry on a paper towel before folding them in batter.

Blueberry Muffins halves revealing their soft, moist and fluffy texture.

How do you keep blueberries from bleeding in muffins?

  • Try using fresh berries and not frozen ones, frozen berries bleed more than fresh ones.
  • Do not over fold berries in the batter.
  • Do not cut the berries in half either!

How do you keep blueberry muffins from turning green?

  • The easiest way to prevent this situation is to not add baking soda to the batter. 
  • But if you do, balance it out with an acid like yogurt/ buttermilk.

How do you stop blueberries from sinking in muffins?

Well risen, soft and moist Blueberry Muffins with cinnamon streusel topping.

  • Either use a thick muffin batter
  • Or coat your berries before folding them in.

Is it better to bake with fresh or frozen blueberries?

They both taste nice in baked goods. However frozen berries tend to bleed a little more as the muffins bake. This turns your muffins purple, which isn’t a bad thing, is it! 😉 

Having said that, I prefer fresh berries over frozen to bake my muffins and cakes.

Should I thaw frozen blueberries for muffins?

No, that is absolutely not required!
