BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Start off by combining all of your dry ingredients in a bowl. Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt, then whisk it together.
• Reserve about 1 tbsp of the flour mixture and mix it with 1 1/2 cups of blueberries. Then set it aside.
• Now add 3 eggs into a large bowl and whisk them on high speed with an electric hand mixer. You want to whisk them for a few minutes until the eggs become pale and fluffy.
• Then continue beating the eggs as you add in 1 cup of granulated sugar. Keep beating for about 3 more minutes. The key to super fluffy muffins is well-beaten eggs.
• Now add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
• Beat the eggs on high speed again and this time slowly add in 3/4 cup heavy cream.
• Now you can begin sifting in your dry ingredients. But don't add it in all at once. You'll want to add about 1/3 of the dry ingredients at a time with mixing in between.
• Once you've got all your dry ingredients well Incorporated continue mixing as you add in 4 tbsp of unsalted melted butter.
• Now add the blueberries to the blueberry muffin batter.
• Fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula. Now Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners and begin scooping the batter out using a large cookie scoop.
• Make the streusel topping by combing 1 tbsp unsalted cold cubed butter, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, Pinch of salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 3 tbsp brown sugar in a small bowl.
• Mash it all together using a fork until all the ingredients are well combined and have a crumbly dry texture to them.
• Now top the blueberry muffins with the streusel topping and bake them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and put an oven rack in the middle position. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Spray the pan and the liners with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and almond extract. (The batter may look a little grainy -- that's okay).
• Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beating on low speed to combine. The batter will be very thick. Add the blueberries to the batter and fold gently with a spatula until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
• Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin (an ice-cream scoop with a wire scraper works well here); they will be very full. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly on top of the muffins.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, until lightly golden. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin to free it from the pan if necessary (the blueberries can stick), then transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The muffins can be frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw for 3 - 4 hours on the countertop before serving. To reheat, wrap individual muffins in aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven until warm.

• Measure the milk into a 2-cup size liquid measuring cup.
• Add the egg, vanilla and vegetable oil and whisk them together with a fork.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir everything together gently just until combined with a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula - just until no streaks of flour remain.
• Portion the batter into the 12 muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 to 3/4 full. This recipe makes between 12 and 16 muffins, depending on the size of your pan.
• Top each muffin with a couple extra fresh blueberries, if desired (this step is optional, but it makes for a beautiful presentation).
