Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients

For the blueberry jam (You can also use storebought blueberry jam)

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (about 1 pint)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

For the muffins:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/8 cups sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted & cooled slightly
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

For the streusel topping:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 stick salted butter-melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a standard muffin tin with vegetable oil spray (or line with paper liners and spray).

For the blueberry jam:

  • Bring blueberries and 1 teaspoon of the sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, mashing the berries with a spoon several times and stirring frequently, until the berries have broken down and the mixture is thickened about 6 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and cool to room temperature, 10-15 minutes.

For the muffins:

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1-1/8 cups sugar and eggs until thick and well combined, about 45 seconds. Slowly whisk in the butter and oil until combined. Nest, whisk in the milk and vanilla until combined.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just moistened. The batter will be very lumpy with a few spots of dry flour; do not overmix. (If using whole blueberries, fold in now.)
  • Fill muffin cups 1/2 full with batter and top each muffin with a teaspoon of the blueberry jam. Use a toothpick to swirl. Divide the remaining batter between muffin cups. The batter should completely fill the cups and mound slightly. Divide the remaining cooked berry mixture between muffin cups. Use a toothpick to swirl.

Make the streusel topping:

  • To make the crumb topping in a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and cinnamon, add melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbly. Spoon streusel over muffins.
  • Bake until the muffin tops are golden and just firm, 17-18 minutes, rotating the muffin tin halfway through. Cool the muffins in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack and cool 5 more minutes before serving.
