  • 2 3/4 tsp baking powder 12.6 g
  • 1 tsp salt 5.7 g
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 3 g
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups milk 284.6 g
  • 1/4 cup olive oil 56.6 g
  • 1/4 cup sugar 57 g
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 7.5 g
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries 225 g

Streusel Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 70 g

  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar 80 g
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon 0.6 g

Instructions
 

Muffin Batter

  • Preheat oven:

    Set the oven to 400°F (205°C).
  • Rinse and dry blueberries:

    Rinse the blueberries and dry them with a towel; transfer to a small bowl.
  • Mill fresh flour:

    Grind 221.3 g soft white wheat and 94.9 g hard white wheat on a fine mill setting.
  • Coat blueberries with flour:

    Dust 1 tsp of the freshly ground flour over the blueberries and stir to coat; reserve. This step keeps them from sinking.
  • Mix dry ingredients:

    Combine 12.6 g baking powder, 5.7 g salt, and 3 g cinnamon with the leftover flour; stir gently and set aside.
  • Whisk wet ingredients:

    In another bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 284.6 g milk, 56.6 g olive oil, 7.5 g vanilla extract, and 57 g sugar. Beat with a hand or stand mixer until fully blended.
  • Combine wet and dry:

    Dig a well in the dry mix and gradually stream in the wet mix. Using a dough hook, blend only until everything is moistened—do not overwork. The batter may appear thin or lumpy; refrain from adding extra flour.
  • Rest the batter:

    Wrap the bowl and allow it to rest for 15–20 minutes. The batter will become thicker.
  • Prepare streusel dry mix:

    To prepare the streusel: Mill 80 g soft white wheat berries on a fine setting. Stir together with 80 g powdered sugar, 0.6 g cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  • Add melted butter to streusel:

    Melt 70 g unsalted butter and incorporate it into the streusel dry mixture until well combined.
  • Let streusel absorb butter:

    Let the streusel sit for 10–15 minutes so it can absorb the butter.

Streusel Topping

  • Fold in blueberries:

    Once the muffin batter has rested, carefully fold in the coated blueberries using a dough hook, being cautious not to overmix.
  • Fill muffin cups:

    Distribute the batter equally among 12 lined baking cups (they should be almost full).
  • Top with streusel:

    If using streusel, break it into crumbs with a fork or your fingers and scatter over the muffins.
  • Bake muffins:

    Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 18–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 200–205°F (93–96°C).
