Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly oil or spray a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
Step 2
Make the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use your hands or a fork to work in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside while you make the muffin batter.
Step 3
Make the muffins: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla.
Step 5
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with ½ teaspoon flour.
Step 6
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the blueberries. Use a ⅓-cup measuring cup to divide the batter among the muffin cups. Evenly sprinkle with the crumble topping.
Step 7
Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the tops spring back to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's notes
Don’t overmix. If you bake often, this goes without saying. But if you’re new to muffin-making, be sure to mix your batter until the ingredients are just combined. Overmixing will make your muffins dense.
Toss the blueberries with a pinch of flour. Lightly coating the blueberries in flour before you fold them into the batter helps them stay suspended in the muffins. That way, you get a blueberry in every bite instead of ending up with a pile of berries at the bottom of each muffin.
Make lemon blueberry muffins. Skip the crumb topping. After baking, drizzle the muffins with my lemon glaze and sprinkle them with lemon zest. I love this variation!
Make healthy blueberry muffins. When I’m craving less-sweet muffins, I simply skip the topping. The muffins are still great without it! If you like, you can also replace 1/2 cup of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
