The Best Homemade Blueberry Muffins
Move over box mix, these easy Homemade Blueberry Muffins are ready to blow you away. With a sweet fruity flavor and a bakery-style crumble topping, you’ll never make boxed muffins again!
Breakfast just got good…really good. I first shared this delicious Blueberry Muffin recipe six years ago on the blog and finally am getting around to replacing the dreadful original pictures with some that do these yummy muffins justice!
These blueberry muffins are different than your standard box-mix muffin-the batter is thick and dense and the crumble topping is amazing! It’s a similar crumble topping as those I use on my streusel-topped banana bread, pumpkin muffins, and apple crumble pie.
Why I love this recipe
- These muffins are easy to whip together and bake up in less than a half hour.
- The crumble topping gives a sweet-crunchy to the muffin top (which we all know is the best part!!)
- They are light and fluffy but not too sweet so you can feel good eating them for breakfast.
They get rave reviews too:
I surprised my husband this morning and made these muffins. He said they are absolutely delicious. My Mom loved them too!! -Joy
I made it yesterday and now I can conclude: Truly It’s the best blueberry muffins I ever taste. My daughter also love it so much. -Regs

Step by step
These muffins are not difficult to make at all but to get them to turn out perfectly you need to pay attention to the details. Be sure to follow the instructions to cook at a lower temperature for the first 15 minutes to achieve the bakery-style crowned top on the muffin!
- To make the muffins, simply mix the wet and dry ingredients separately then mix together in a large bowl.
- After folding in the blueberries oh-so-gently, spoon the batter into a muffin pan lined with cups or sprayed with nonstick spray.
- Next the step that takes it over the top: the crumble topping! Mix together sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl, then cut the butter into the mixture with two knives until it’s incorporated.
- Spoon the crumble topping over the muffins and pat gently into the top.
- Bake the muffins at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, then increase the heat to 400 for the final 10 minutes. This increased temperature helps make that high crown on the muffins!
Don’t you just want to reach right through the screen and take a bite??

Delicious! I came across this recipe when I had blueberries I needed to use up. I made two batches and they disappeared pretty quickly. They’re so quick and easy to make, even for a novice baker like me.

Both temps say 350. But in the paragraphs above the recipe it says to bake at a lower temp first. What temp should that be?
If you look in the recipe card you start at 350 then raise it to 400 after 15 minutes.
Could you use buttermilk in place of regular milk?
I too used the larger paper cup cake papers and used gluten free flour and we loved them.
So glad you liked them Toni!
So far I’ve made two batches since yesterday! I am a Brit in the UK and my son (currently on lockdown with me) is an aficionado of these muffins in NY, where his work often takes him. He absolutely loves these so I shall be making them often!! Thank you so much.
So glad you liked them!
