Equipment

  • 12 cup muffin pan
  • pastry cutter or fork

Ingredients
  

For the streusel topping:

  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp cold butter

For the muffins:

  • cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Generously grease a 12 cup muffin tin or line each cup with a paper liner. Set aside.

Make the streusel topping:

  • Place all the streusel ingredients; sugar, flour, and cold butter in a small mixing bowl. Use a fork or pastry cutter to cut in the cold butter until you have a crumbly mixture. Place in the fridge while you make the muffin batter.

Make the muffins:

  • Combine the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder and Kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes on high speed.
  • Reduce speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla.
  • Once well combined, add half the flour mixture and half the sour cream. When combined add the remaining flour and the remaining sour cream. Mix well until you have a smooth batter.
  • Fold in frozen blueberries using a rubber spatula.
  • Fill each muffin cup ¾ full with the muffin batter.
  • Top each muffin with a teaspoon of the cold streusel.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean.
  • Serve warm.
