Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:

Prepare the Batter for muffins:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
Make the Crumb Topping (Optional):

Fill the Muffin Cups:

Cool and Serve muffins:

Serve these blueberry muffins warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence. Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast or afternoon treat. For added freshness, garnish with a few extra blueberries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar just before serving!
