Mixed Berry Crumble Top Muffins

Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter (melted)
- 3 cups flour
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 eggs
Crumble
- ½ cup flour
- 6 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425º. Line 18 muffin tins with paper liners.
- Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Add 6 tablespoons cold butter and combine with fingers or pastry cutter. Set aside.
- Melt butter and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. Add a spoonful of the flour mixture to the bowl of berries to slightly coat them. If using frozen berries, don’t thaw the berries, add them frozen.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream and eggs. Add the liquid ingredients and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Gently fold in the berries. Scoop the batter with a large ice cream scoop into the muffin cups, filling them to the top.
- Add about a tablespoon of streusel to the top, pressing it into the batter.
- Bake for 5 minutes then turn down the temperature to 350º, don’t open the door and bake an additional 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly and then transfer to wire rack.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- If using frozen berries, add them frozen.
- You can use any combination of berries, if using strawberries, cut them into pieces.
- Store at room temperature for 1-2 days then freeze. Storing in the refrigerator will dry them out.
