Ingredients
Scale
- For the Muffins:
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour (or all-purpose)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- For the Streusel Crumb:
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1 tablespoon cold butter, cubed
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Preparation and Oven Setup Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature is the secret to getting those tall, bakery-style muffin tops. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease them thoroughly with non-stick spray.
- Step 2: Create the Streusel Topping In a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, and brown sugar. Use a fork or your fingers to work the cold butter into the mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in the mini chocolate chips and set the bowl aside in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
- Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure there are no large lumps. This step ensures an even rise throughout the batch.
- Step 4: Combine the Wet Ingredients In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, melted oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
- Step 5: Form the Batter Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough. Gently fold in the blueberries and the half cup of chocolate chips.
- Step 6: Portion and Top Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. They should be nearly full. Sprinkle a generous amount of the prepared streusel crumb over the top of each muffin, pressing down very lightly so it sticks.
- Step 7: Bake and Cool Place the tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve them warm for the best experience.
