Ingredients

Streusel

Blueberry Muffins

  • 56 g unsalted butter (4 tbsp.)
  • 100 g granulated sugar (½ c.)
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • ½ tsp. vanilla
  • 120 g plain whole milk kefir room temperature (½ c.)
  • 140 g all purpose flour (1 c. + 2 ½ tbsp.)
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 80 g blueberries (½ c.)
  • 2 tsp. all purpose flour
  • ¼ c. blueberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C. Line a muffin pan with 6 parchment liners.

Streusel

  1. In a small bowl, melt the butter. Add in the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Use a fork to mix the ingredients together, then set aside. The streusel will seem super buttery & become a cohesive dough, but will be able to be crumbled by the time we add it to the muffins.

Blueberry Muffins

  1. In a medium sized mixing bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the sugar, egg, vanilla and kefir until well combined.
  2. Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a rubber spatula to lightly fold the mixture until just a few flour streaks remain.
  3. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 2 tsp. of flour. Then, add the blueberries into the batter and fold just until no flour streaks remain.
  4. Now it's time to layer the muffins. Start by pouring ~2 tbsp. of muffin batter into the bottom of each muffin liner. Top with 1 tsp. of blueberry jam, followed by ~1 tbsp. of streusel.
  5. Top with an additional ~3 tbsp. of muffin batter, 1 tsp. of blueberry jam, and the remaining streusel.
  6. Bake the muffins at 425°F for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 350°F / 175°C.
  7. Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
  8. Serve and enjoy!
