If you’re looking for a breakfast muffin that’s light, fluffy, and bursting with sweet blueberries then this is the perfect recipe. The crumbly topping takes it to another level of deliciousness.
Trust me on this one, these are bakery-style muffins made at home–they’ll be your new favorite too!
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.
How To Make Bakery-Style Blueberry Muffins at Home
For these fabulous muffins, there are three components – the blueberries, the crumb topping, and the muffin base. To make them, you need the following ingredients:
TOPPING
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- ⅓ cup flour
- 5 Tablespoons butter softened
MUFFIN BASE
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 Tablespoons butter melted
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
BLUEBERRIES
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 Tablespoon flour
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
You 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, the muffin batter. It’s best not to over mix the batter. Doing so will result in tough muffins.
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.

They look like cupcakes. That's not how bakeries do it. I retired after 50 yrs as a baker.
