Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly, then whisk in the egg, whole milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are well coated with the batter.
  6. If using the crumb topping, mix together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter until crumbly.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter and sprinkle the crumb topping if desired.
  8. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 15-18 minutes.
  9. Once baked, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
