Some people dedicate space in their house for special bottles of wine – I have the special White Lily section of my pantry . It’s where I keep “the good stuff”. You Southerners who can find this super-light flour in any local grocery store are so lucky! I have to pay a pretty big premium to have it shipped to California, but for the lightest cakes, muffins and biscuits it’s worth it.
Today’s Blueberry Streusel Muffins recipe marks the fifth White Lily recipe I’ve featured on this blog – a record! Technically, it’s from the White Lily website and not the actual flour package itself (I’ve actually already made all of their on-the-package recipes!). What I love most about this recipe is it’s simplicity. They are simple, straightforward, fluffy homemade blueberry muffins you can bake on a weekday morning in about 30 minutes. What a treat! One thing to note: the streusel topping is more of a light, sugary crust than a thick crumb layer.
We’ve got a great baking giveaway today! White Lily would like to send one lucky Cooking On the Side reader their Baking Essentials Kit, which includes a Cuisinart 7-Speed Electric Hand Mixer, one bag each of White Lily Self-Rising and All-Purpose flour, a variety of baking tools, recipe pamphlets and a grocery tote.

Blueberry Streusel Muffins
From the Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping recipe on the White Lily website
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 18 minutes | Total time: 28 minutes
Yield: 12 muffins
INGREDIENTS:
Topping:
- 2 tablespoons White Lily® Self-Rising Flour*
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
Muffins:
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 cups White Lily® Self-Rising Flour **
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS:
For the topping:
- Combine 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons sugar and butter until crumbly. Set aside.
For the muffins:
- Heat the oven to 400ºF. Spray bottoms only of 12 muffin cups lightly with no-stick cooking spray or line with paper baking cups.
- Rinse, drain, and thoroughly dry blueberries on paper towels. Combine flour and sugar in small bowl. Toss blueberries in 1/4 cup flour mixture.
- Whisk milk, egg and oil together in small bowl until blended. Add liquid ingredients to remaining flour mixture; stir 5 to 7 strokes (batter will not be completely mixed).
- Fold in floured blueberries. Stir only until ingredients are moistened. Batter will be lumpy (do not overmix). Fill muffin cups 2/3 to 3/4 full with batter. Sprinkle with streusel topping.
- Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
* I normally don’t specify brands, but as I learned in my biscuit bake-off, there’s quite a bit of variation across the self-rising flours.
** If you’re using a brand of self-rising flour other than White Lily, reduce the amount of flour to 1 3/4 cups.
Thanks to White Lily for sponsoring today’s giveaway. I received a Baking Essentials Kit for my own use but I received no financial compensation. All opinions expressed here are, as always, my own.
Pumpkin chocolate chip bread, hands down.

This look delcious. I love White Lily flour, everything comes out so tender!
One of the best baked goods I have ever made has to be the morning buns from a now defunct restaurant in Madison, WI., The Ovens of Brittany. As a kid, my mom would take me and my sisters there on weekend mornings, and we would feast on the sticky but not-too-sweet goodness of these beauties. A few years ago, I made these for Christmas morning, and my family LOVED them. they are a bit of work, as the recipe uses a croissant dough base but they are totally worth it!
Homemade bagels! Time consuming, but so worth it!
