Recipe Swaps and Substitutions
- Gluten - instead of all purpose flour, you can use a gluten-free version, I would suggest a 1:1 flour.
- Dairy - if you are fine with regular milk, go for that!
- Coconut sugar - swap out the brown sugar for coconut sugar if you desire. I would not take out all of the sugar for coconut sugar as this recipe was not intended to be made that way, and it will change the overall bake color and texture a bit.
How to make blueberry streusel muffins
Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine both sugars, flour, cinnamon, and salt together. Melt the butter in a separate bowl, then pour into the sugar mixture and mix using a spatula to form a crumbly streusel texture. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to set.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars and the eggs until combined. Pour in the oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk again to incorporate.
Step 3: To the same bowl, add in the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
Step 4: Drop in the blueberries and fold in with a spatula. Whisk until the batter just comes together, do not over-mix. Divide the muffin batter into a muffin tin, then bake for 22-23 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.
