Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 2 cups All purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup White sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter, browned Melted
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Milk Any kind
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Blueberries Fresh or frozen
For the Crumb Topping (Optional)
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Butter, melted

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Medium bowl
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. If making the crumb topping, mix the flour and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and stir with a fork until pea-sized crumbles form. Use your fingers if needed to create nice clumps. Cover and chill the topping in the refrigerator until you need it.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. This is your dry mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the browned butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. This is your wet mixture.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. If using the topping, sprinkle the chilled crumb mixture evenly over the top of the batter in each cup.
  9. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

I remember baking these in my small kitchen, using fresh blueberries from the market. The smell brought back memories of quiet Sunday mornings. These muffins are proof that you can make bakery-quality baked goods at home without professional skills.
