The Best Blueberry Muffins with Crumble Topping (Perfect for Lazy Sunday Mornings)
You know it’s going to be a good day when your biggest decision is:
One muffin or two? (Spoiler: always two. 🧁🧁)
There’s something magical about a slow Sunday morning. ☀️
You know the kind — no alarms ⏰, no rushing ⏳, no putting on real pants. ✌️
Just you, a fresh cup of coffee ☕, a cozy sweatshirt, and the smell of warm, buttery blueberry muffins filling the kitchen like a hug you can eat.
It’s basically self-care. With crumbs. ❤️
And if you ask me, every lazy Sunday deserves a little something extra.
That’s why these Blueberry Muffins with Crumble Topping exist.
They’re soft. They’re moist. They’re jam-packed with juicy blueberries.
And they’re topped with the dreamiest buttery crumble that makes you wonder why you ever settled for a plain muffin in the first place. ✨
The Sunday Morning Scene
Picture this:
The coffee’s brewing ☕.
The sunlight is streaming in ✨.
You’re still wearing your favorite old sweatshirt that should probably be retired but never will be (because comfort).
The only soundtrack is the soft hum of your kitchen and maybe your favorite lazy playlist 🎶 in the background. (Bonus points for jazz, Taylor Swift’s acoustic album, or the occasional Norah Jones classic.)
You pull out a warm muffin, the crumble topping slightly crunchy under your fingers, and break it open. 🥰
Steam rises.
Blueberries glisten.
You take that first bite… and it’s game over.
This, my friend, is what Sunday dreams are made of. ✨
Why These Blueberry Muffins Are Life-Changing
Let’s break it down:
Ultra-moist and fluffy on the inside 💧 Sweet, juicy blueberries in every bite 🫐 Buttery, golden crumble topping that gives a little crunch 🍯 Easy enough to make before your first cup of coffee fully kicks in ☕ Freezer-friendly, so you can have lazy Sunday magic any day of the week ❄️
Basically, they check every box. ✅
If you could marry a muffin, these would be serious contenders. (I mean… we’re not not thinking about it.)
What Makes These Muffins SO Moist?
A few little secrets:
Vegetable oil instead of butter = super tender crumb 🧈 Whole milk adds richness (no dry muffins here!) 🥛 Just enough baking powder for that perfect, bakery-style muffin top 🎂
And here’s the kicker:
Don’t overmix your batter. ❌🥄
I cannot stress this enough.
Mix just until the flour disappears — then stop. Seriously, put the spoon down and back away slowly.
Overmixing leads to tough muffins, and we are not about that life.
Let’s Talk About That Crumble Topping
Because honestly, it deserves its own paragraph. 👏
The crumble on top of these muffins?
It’s not optional. It’s essential. 🔥
It’s buttery. It’s sweet. It’s just the right amount of crispy without taking over the whole show.
Think of it as the muffin’s jewelry. 💎
Without it, they’re fine.
With it?
They sparkle.
(Pro tip: Double the crumble topping if you know what’s good for you. Highly recommend.) ✌️
