These blueberry streusel muffins have a delicious streusel topping that adds that perfect pop of sweetness! Makes a great breakfast on the go or afternoon snack.
The boys and I went berry picking last week for raspberries and blueberries. We had a lot of fun {even though the boys did more talking than picking!}, and came home with a few baskets of delicious fresh berries. There’s nothing that feels more like summer than a big bowl full of fresh berries!
Blueberry Muffins with a Streusel Topping
I froze a bunch of the berries to use in our smoothies, and have been adding fresh ones to our salads. It’s always fun to play around with a few new recipes too, and my sweet tooth was craving some muffins. These blueberry streusel muffins were a big hit and the streusel topping adds that little bit of extra sweetness. So delicious!

Blueberry Streusel Muffins
These easy blueberry streusel muffins make the perfect breakfast on the go or afternoon snack. The light streusel topping adds that extra little sweetness that makes these a family favorite!
Ingredients
Muffins
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom {optional}
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries {unsweetened}
Streusel Topping
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
Instructions
-
Grease or line a muffin tin pan. Pre-heat the oven to 375 F.
-
In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the egg and extracts and beat well. Beat in milk.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom. Add to the creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in the blueberries.
-
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Cut in the butter until crumbly - you may not need all of it.
-
Fill each muffin cup approximately 3/4 full with the blueberry mixture. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.
-
Bake at 375 F for 25-27 minutes of until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan and then transfer to a wire rack.
Recipe Notes
You can sub in raspberries instead of blueberries if you prefer, but use frozen raspberries. The fresh raspberries tend to be too soft and discolor the batter.
I also made a batch of these using the raspberries, but used the frozen berries instead of the fresh ones {you can find all of my tips for how to freeze berries HERE}. The fresh raspberries tend to break apart really easily so you’ll end up with more of a pink muffin. 🙂 I think they’d be delicious mixing the two berries too!

These look delicious! But I don’t see an amount for flour??
There must be flour missing from the muffin itself.
Your blueberry recipes are all mouthwatering. I have been too put off by the heat to pick any yet this year, but this is a reminder I should get out soon and pick while I can. Thanks for sharing your blueberry creations with us at Fiesta Friday.
I love going berry picking! If you can get out first thing in the morning the temps are cooler and the crowds are minimal. So many yummy things to make!
