They are incredibly easy to make and served in bakeshops and breakfast cafes and restaurants all across the world.

6. Add in 1 egg at a time until completely mixed in and then add in the vanilla.
7. Turn the speed down to low and alternate in three batches adding in the dry flour ingredients with the wet milk ingredients just until mixed in.
8. In a medium-size bowl quickly toss the blueberries with 3 tablespoons of flour until coated and then add them to the mixing bowl the batter and fold them in using a rubber spatula until combined.
9. Evenly distribute the batter between 12 jumbo muffin cups.
10. Sprinkle on the crumb topping evenly to cover the tops of each muffin.
11. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until the tops are lightly brown and firm in the center.
12. Cool on a rack until room temperature before serving.

I cut the recipe in half. I used a regular muffin tin plus 4 silicone muffin cups. I used parchment baking cups. I got 16 amazing muffins! They tasted great and I was very pleased with how easy these were to make. Thank you!

Thank you chef. Since I can't have gluten, soy or lactose I appreciate you taking the time to show everyone the fundamentals. I can adjust the recipe.

Thank you so much for this video. I was amazed when you were using the spray for the tins. I just made peach muffins and wanted to try that but didn't have the time, in case they didn't come out, to make another batch. Glad I didn't. You did it for us and I'll stick with the paper cups. I will try those parchment ones you used. They looked interesting. Love your videos. I always learn something.

TFS!! My family loves muffins! I feel like I am raising two little muffin men! They would eat muffins every day! I’m researching muffin recipes for a cooking video I want to make. This is inspiring! I’ve learned some new things from you! I hope we can learn from each other!

[mrmudcatslim]

Your instructions are always clear and concise. Your camera work is also very good, at least to me. Your recipes are interesting. I have tried a few myself, and they turned out well.

Your enthusiastic with what your doing. You take the time to do it right.

I think you really do deserve to catch on, and am hoping that the future holds that for you.

I see your channel has grown, but want to see the wind catch your sail, and take you that much further.

Stick with it chef, your doing an outstanding job.

Hey Billy, show me how to make BUCKWHEAT FLOUR Pancake thanks

[obelittle]

Omg I legit just took some blueberry muffins out of the oven

[ksweetopia]

Ice cream works best for muffins and cupcakes

[Lollipopper]

Hi Chef, for the milk and oil, isit 1/3 cup or 1/4 cup?

[ZZ_The_Boxing_Cat]

How can you prevent the muffins from getting too moist and sticky?
Haven’t figured that out yet.
After I put the muffins in a tupperware container- I have to scatter saltines around them to help with the moisture.
If anyone knows how to solve this moisture issue, please let me know.

When I don’t want any topping I add a few more blueberries on the very top right before going into the oven.

[francescayoung]

Try to use honey instead of sugar. It comes out great. I just dint make the topping on these

[carmen]

In the recipe you wrote 1/4 milk and 1/4 vegetable oil, in the video you said to add 1/3 milk and 1/3 vegetable oil … which is correct ?

[puffchick]
