Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature (or dairy-free milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice as substitute)
  • 1 cup (about 150g) fresh mulberries, gently rinsed and patted dry
  • For the streusel topping:
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (70g) packed brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (55g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  2. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup flour, ⅓ cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Chill in fridge.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup granulated sugar.
  4. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, 2 eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour wet into dry and stir gently with a spatula just until flour disappears; batter should be slightly lumpy and thick.
  6. Fold in mulberries gently to avoid crushing.
  7. Scoop batter evenly into 12 muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
  8. Sprinkle chilled streusel topping generously over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool muffins in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for best results. Keep butter cold for streusel topping to ensure crumbly texture. Avoid overmixing batter to keep muffins tender and airy. If streusel browns too quickly, tent muffins with foil after 15 minutes. Cool muffins on rack to prevent soggy bottoms.
