Ingredients:

For the Crumb Topping:

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3.5 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

For the Muffins:

• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 3 medium eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup cream
• 1/3 cup plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup blueberries (tossed in 1/2 tablespoon flour)

Instructions:

1. For the crumb topping, mix flour and sugar in a bowl. Add cold butter and rub in with your fingertips until crumbs form. Chill in the fridge.
2. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, sugar, milk, cream, yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy muffins.
6. Fold in the flour-dusted blueberries carefully.
7. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full with the batter. Top with the chilled crumb topping.
8. Bake for 8 minutes at 200°C, then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and bake for another 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
