  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter (melted, cooled slightly)
  • 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 0.5 cup Milk (whole or 2% milk)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen; if frozen, do not thaw)

    Time: PT2M

  3. Make Crumble Topping

    In a small bowl combine 0.5 cup flour, 0.33 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 0.25 cup cold butter. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    Temperature: 375°F

  11. Cool and Serve

    Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Time: PT5M
