Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃). If using a convection fan oven lower the temp by 25℉ (20℃). Prepare a 6-capacity large muffin tray with non-stick baking spray or good ole butter and flour. If using paper liners, there's no need to prep the pan.
Crumble
Melt the butter and let it cool until it has slightly thickened. Stir together all the ingredients in a medium bowl using a fork. Leave the crumble a little chunky. Set aside.
Slowly stir in half of the flour mixture at a time to make a thick batter.
Toss juicy blueberries in 2 teaspoons of flour for a light dusting.
270 grams fresh blueberries, 2 tsp all purpose flour
Add the blueberries to the muffin batter. Gently fold them in with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly amongst the six cavities in the muffin pan. Fill about 3/4 to 4/5 of the way full. To prevent berries from all sinking to the bottom, spoon a little of the plain batter into the bottom of each cavity, then continue to fill with batter mixed with the blueberries.
Top the batter with a few extra small fresh blueberries.
To finish, add the crumble to the batter. Sprinkle it in chunks to loosely cover each muffin. Gently tap the topping with your fingertips to stick to the batter.
Transfer the pan to the middle oven rack and bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. You may have a little jammy blueberry on the toothpick, but if the muffin top gently springs back when pressed with your fingertip, they're ready!
Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Then carefully remove the muffins and place them directly onto the rack to completely cool. Since they have large tops, I invert the pan a little and slowly twist the muffins out, if not using paper liners.
