Do you love a good blueberry muffin as much as I do? I don’t know about you but over the years I’ve had a hard time finding the perfect recipe. When I visit cafes and bakeries the muffins are moist, loaded with crumble topping and oh so good! All of the blueberry muffin recipes I had tried fell short but I recently pinned down a recipe that gave me a bakery style muffin. I’m so excited to share the recipe with you because I think you’re going to love them too!
Anytime it comes to adding fruit to a muffin, cake or cupcake recipe you always want to make sure to dry the fruit properly after washing. The moisture from the fruit can cause the fruit to sink to the bottom of your muffin, cake, etc. A great trick to use when baking with fruit is to take it after washing, dry it thoroughly and then coat in just a bit of flour. This will hold the fruit in place during the baking process.
This muffin recipe is loaded with a crumble topping, which I think is one of the best parts of a muffin. It adds great texture and a little sweetness. This recipe makes plenty of crumble topping, so feel free to load the muffins up!
**NOTE** – If blueberries are not your thing this recipe can easily be adapted for fresh cut up strawberries instead. Exchanging the blueberries for another fruit is totally doable. Remember to dry the washed fruit properly and to coat in flour to prevent sinking.
