Blueberry muffins are my favorite type of muffin, especially when they are bakery-style. The sweet crumbly topping is the pièce de résistance for me.

A few years ago I found a recipe online and it was love at first batch. Okay – I know I am not good at making up funny lines, but it was love at first bite. The batter creates a light, moist crumb, and the topping is sweet and crumbly. For me, it really is the perfect bakery-style blueberry muffin recipe to make at home.

To make it, start by preparing the crumb topping. I find that it works best to use softened butter. If the topping is too moist, refrigerate it for a bit to firm up. You can then take a fork to break it up into small pieces.

Next, I make the batter. It’s best not to over mix the batter. Doing so will result in tough muffins.

Next, the blueberries get dusted with a little flour and sugar before being folded into the batter.

Now there are just a few more things to do: spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups, sprinkle on the topping, and bake for about 20 minutes.

One last thing – they need to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
