Almond Streusel Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins

You will absolutely love our newest recipe: Almond Streusel Blueberry Muffins! Even though you can have muffins any time of the year, I think some are better in the summer. Anytime you’re able to use fresh berries in a recipe, you should! And summertime is blueberry time, so we decided to take advantage.

These muffins are soft, moist, flavorful, and will be gone before you know it! Let’s talk about it.

 

 

The Muffin

The muffin batter is pretty basic as far as the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda. The wet ingredients include both sour cream and buttermilk. The sour cream keeps it moist, while the buttermilk encourages a fluffy crumb. We’re also using some of our European Style Butter in the batter. Fold the melted butter in at the end and your batter will become silky smooth.

Don’t forget to coat your fresh blueberries in a little flour, so they don’t sink to the bottom of the muffins. We want evenly distributed berries!

 

 

The Streusel

The streusel on top does two things: first, it gives a nice bit of crunch on top. A difference in texture is always welcome. Second, it adds tremendous flavor.

Besides the basic ingredients (flour, sugar), we’re using sliced almonds and our Cinnamon Brown Sugar Honey Butter. Both add fantastic flavor that compliments the muffin itself really well.

Sprinkle a bit of streusel on top on top of the batter before you bake. And you might want to make a double batch — when we made these in our test kitchen, they disappeared fast!

Enjoy!
