Blueberry Sour Cream Oat Crumble Muffins

If there is one thing I crave on a weekly basis, it’s freshly baked muffins. It’s one of the few things that I will actually bake, and I never get bored of them. From strawberries and cream to simple cinnamon and bran, I’ve never met a muffin I didn’t like.

These blueberry sour cream oat crumble muffins are my latest obsession. While I try to avoid a lot of baked goods once the weather starts to get warmer, I can never ever completely cross muffins off the list. These muffins are bursting with blueberry flavor and are topped with a crumble topping that adds just the perfect amount of texture.

Now, don’t let the sour cream in this recipe scare you. You won’t even taste it, and even if you do, it is so subtle. The point of sour cream in this recipe is to add the perfect amount of moistness, and that it does. Yogurt can quickly be substituted, and I have found that vanilla-flavored yogurt works best.

Another thing I love about these muffins, are the blueberries. I am all for fresh produce this time of year, BUT when it comes to muffins I always go the frozen route. Blueberries tend to bleed, especially when they are fresh and it’s hard not to mash them when you fold them into the muffin batter. Frozen blueberries usually take a little bit more oomph to break them up, and I find that tossing them in a little bit of flour really helps to not break them apart.

I hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as I do! Pair them with a coconut porter (Oskar Blues makes a great one!). Although there is no coconut in these muffins, a coconut beer will really highlight the sweet flavors these muffins have to offer. If you have trouble finding a coconut porter, a regular porter will do just fine! Enjoy!
