Instructions
Preparation Steps
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or by greasing it. This ensures your cruffins won't stick and are easy to serve.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine everything nicely. Make a well in the center for the wet ingredients.
In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined. Pour this mixture into the well of the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain that fluffy texture.
Carefully fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much. You want to keep those gorgeous berry bursts in your cruffins!
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the extra sugar on top of each cruffin to enhance that sweet crust.
Bake in your preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool slightly before removing from the tin.
Enjoy these warm or at room temperature. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea and make for a perfect breakfast or snack!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with other fruits or mix some chocolate chips into the batter for a twist!
