My mom used to bake blueberry muffins for breakfast, and they were one of my absolutely favorites. As all muffins should be, these are creamy, not dry, with a nice crumb.

Ingredients

Cake

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 t vanilla extract

1 Egg, large

1 cup Flour, divided

2/3 t baking powder

1/4 t baking soda

1/4 t salt

2/3 cup Sour cream or crème fraîche

1/2 cup Frozen blueberries

Streusel Topping

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup almond flour

Pinch of salt

2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and diced

Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 325 F. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter and sugar on low gear. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine ¾ C flour, baking soda, powder and salt. Set aside. To the butter/sugar mixture add egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and continue mixing until just combined, then add the sour cream. In a small bowl, toss frozen blueberries with remaining ¼ cup flour and using a spatula, gently fold into batter. Note: Please refer to the written recipe for measurements as they've been adjusted from the video.
  2. Make the streusel by combining the flour, sugar, almond flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor, then add the diced, cold butter, mixing until it there aren’t pieces of butter. Set aside. Using an ice cream scoop, distribute batter into a 12-cup standard muffin tin with liners. If the batter is sticking to the scoop, dip in water. Sprinkle a teaspoon of streusel mixture on each muffin. Bake 25 minutes until muffins are puffed and golden brown. Note: Please refer to the written recipe for measurements as they've been adjusted from the video.
  3. Check for "doneness" by sticking a knife into the center of a muffin. It should come out clean. When cool, finish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

I love this recipe! Used 2 cups of fresh blueberries and adjusted the time to 30 minutes or so. Very moist and yummy.
