Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 2 1/4 cups All purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup White sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter melted and browned
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 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
  • 1/2 cup All purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup Butter melted

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt for the muffin batter.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the browned butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  6. To make the crumb topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Stir in the melted butter until crumbles form. Use your fingers to create pea-sized clumps.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter in each muffin cup.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin 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

For an even richer flavor, ensure your butter is properly browned before adding it to the wet ingredients. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent the batter from turning blue.
