Preparation

  • Preheat your oven and prepare your muffin tin with liners or cooking spray.

  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the blueberries.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Crumb Topping

  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, and flour until crumbly.
