Ingredients

1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 cups plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup milk
2 cups fresh blueberries
Mace, for topping (optional)

Steps:

Crumb topping, if desired:Whisk together flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Pour in melted butter and toss with a flexible spatula until large crumbs form.
Muffins:Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line standard 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla; mix until well combined. Reduce speed to low; alternate adding reserved flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour. Gently fold in blueberries by hand.
Divide batter evenly among prepared cups; if desired, sprinkle generously with granulated sugar and mace. Alternatively, sprinkle crumb topping evenly over batter in each cup.

A pretty brown sugar topping adds a pleasant sweetness to these tender breakfast treats from Sharon Evans of Clear Lake, Iowa. "The nutmeg provides a nice change of pace from other muffins that are seasoned with cinnamon," she says.

MAKE-AHEAD BLUEBERRY-CINNAMON MUFFINS

Make-Ahead Blueberry-Cinnamon Muffins image

This recipe allows you to make the muffin batter the night before, then bake it the next morning--perfect for fresh, on-the-go muffins! Make sure not to overmix the batter as that will create dense muffins that won't rise well. The batter will last in the fridge up to 5 days which means you can make a few muffins at a time over the course of a few days, if you desire.

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs at room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup milk, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 cups fresh blueberries
¼ cup turbinado sugar, or as needed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg in a bowl until well combined.
Whisk together white sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter in a second, larger bowl until well combined. Whisk in eggs, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract until thoroughly combined. Add in milk and sour cream and beat until mixture is smooth, and no lumps remain. Pour in dry ingredients and fold in a few times until just moistened; there should still be some clumps of dry flour. Sprinkle blueberries over the batter, and fold in until just incorporated. Batter will be lumpy, but should not have patches of dry flour remaining in it. Do not overmix.
Place batter in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin tins and line with paper liners.
In a small bowl, stir together turbinado sugar and cinnamon.
Fill each muffin liner to the top with the batter. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon mixture over the top of each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are golden and spring back lightly when touched, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
