Blueberry Muffins w. Cinnamon Sugar Crumb Topping

 I posted a picture of my Blueberry Muffins yesterday and someone requested the recipe, so here it is. I came up with this recipe and had to make it a few times to get it right due to the high altitude baking, being at somewhere between 5700ft - 6500ft above sea level gets a little tricky when cooking and baking, I've included sea level & high altitude instruction. 



Ingredients 
2 1/2 Cups of All-Purpose Flour 
1 Tbsp Flour for dusting Blueberry
*(I used frozen, dust so they don't sink to the bottom while baking)
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda 
8 Tbsp (1 Stick) Butter, Melted
1 Cup Sugar 
2 Large Eggs
1 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
2 Tbsp Milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Teaspoon Lemon Zest
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
2 Tbsp Veg Oil
1 1/2 Cups Blueberries (I used frozen)

CRUMB TOPPING
1/2 Cup Course Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup White Sugar
2/3 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Butter
3 Teaspoons Cinnamon


For Crumb Topping:
  • Combine sugars, flour, cinnamon and melted butter until course crumbs form.


For Muffin Batter:
  • Pre-heat oven 375F for higher altitude & 350F for sea level.
  • In small bowl place 1 tbsp flour over blueberries and mix. 
  • In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda & sugar. Set aside. 
  •  In another bowl mix beaten eggs, oil, lemon zest, milk, sour cream, vanilla extract & melted butter. 
  • Slowly mix flour mixture into liquids 1/3's at a time. 
  • Fold in dusted blueberry slowly, do not over mix. 
  • Spoon into muffin cups, about 2/3 full. They will rise so do not overfill. 
  • Sprinkle toppings generously over batter.
  • Place in oven (High Altitude 20-25mins) (Sea Level 15-20mins)
