Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 12–16 standard muffin cups with paper liners.
Make the streusel: In a small bowl combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Add the 6 tablespoons cold butter (cubed or grated) and cut or rub it into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly. Set the streusel aside in the refrigerator while you make the batter.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the wet ingredients: 1/2 cup salted butter (melted), 1/2 cup real maple syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, and 2 large eggs. Whisk until smooth and combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir gently until just combined and no large streaks of flour remain—do not overmix.
Gently fold 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter, keeping the batter light and lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Spoon the 1/3 cup high-quality blueberry jam over the filled muffin cups, dividing the jam between the muffins (a little in the center of each). Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the jam through the top of the batter in each cup to create a blueberry swirl—avoid overmixing.
Evenly sprinkle the chilled streusel over the tops of the muffins.
Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If baking multiple pans, rotate them halfway through baking for even browning.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
