Serves 12 people
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 1 large egg(s)
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup fat-free skim milk, divided
- 2 cup blueberries, washed and picked over
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Place muffin liners in a 12-hole muffin tin.
-
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
-
Using an electric mixer, beat egg with 3/4 cup of sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add sour cream and beat until thoroughly combined; blend in vanilla extract.
-
Add half of flour mixture and half of milk to sugar mixture; beat until just combined. Add remaining flour mixture and milk; beat until smooth.
-
Fold in blueberries and fill each muffin liner about 3/4 full; set aside.
-
To make streusel topping, in a small bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup each of sugar and flour. Pour in melted butter and combine with fingertips. Divide crumb mixture over muffins; gently press into top of muffin batter with fingertips.
-
Bake until slightly golden and a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in pans for about 10 to 15 minutes and then transfer muffins onto racks to cool completely. Yields 1 muffin per serving.

You can use any combination of fresh berries in this recipe. Frozen berries are fine to use as long as you make sure they’re completely thawed first.
