Blueberry muffin recipe that delivers big, Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins you crave. Loaded with juicy blueberry and topped with a buttery crumb topping.This is the only blueberry muffin recipe you need!

Do you have a favorite type of muffin? My absolute favorite is a blueberry muffin.

They’re hard for me to resist, especially when I’m waiting in line for my coffee at our local coffee shop down the street. An almond milk cappuccino and a plump, berry-filled muffin could easily be my breakfast every single day of the week.

I call these blueberry muffins “bakery style” because they’re oversized. They’re the kind of muffins you see in a bakery display case.

Why This Recipe Works

• These are so easy to make! With a few pantry staples and a handful of blueberries, this big bakery-style muffin can be enjoyed in just 30 minutes!
• Big and bold, these blueberry muffins are quick to make and are delightfully buttery.
• They’re light and perfectly sweet with a delicate, moist crumb topping.

Ingredients

• Canola Oil
• Milk
• Vanilla
• Blueberries
• Brown Sugar
• Cinnamon and Nutmeg
• Butter

How to Make This Recipe

1. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, and canola oil and mix until well blended. Beat in the milk and vanilla.
3. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Stir until batter is smooth. Gently fold in the blueberries.
4. Spoon the batter into the lined muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full. Spoon the crumb topping on top of each one.
5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry.
6. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes before serving.

Expert Tips

• Do not overmix the batter. If you mix the batter too much, it can create a very dense muffin. Stir only until the flour has disappeared and don’t worry about leaving lumps. Lumps are okay.
• The trick to making the perfect crumb topping is to make sure to mix the melted butter and the dry ingredients together well, leaving no dry ingredients in the bottom of the bowl.
• Be careful not to overbake your muffins. Overbaking will result in a dry muffin with a very dark surface. Bake the muffin just until a skewer or the tip of a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean, or with just a few crumbs.
