Here is a recipe for Blueberry Muffins, inspired by American style muffins! These muffins are super moist and still have a slightly crunchy top thanks to the crumble I add just before baking. I can already recommend doubling the quantities because these muffins won’t last long!

Blueberry muffins, a classic that works every time!

Muffins in general, but especially blueberry muffins, are a classic that can be enjoyed for any occasion:

  • For breakfast or a brunch
  • As a dessert to a light meal such as a salad
  • To take with you on a picnic
  • For a birthday party
  • For a buffet at a party with friends

And you can prepare them all year long! If blueberries are not in season, frozen blueberries are also perfect for making these muffins.
