The Complete Guide to Sugar Alternatives: Everything You Need to Know →Blueberry Crumb Muffins with Jaca
These tender blueberry crumb muffins are topped with a cinnamon crumble and sweetened with Jaca (allulose) instead of conventional sugar. It is a Jaca-adjusted healthier version of the Allrecipes breakfast classic.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups Jaca (allulose) (replaces ¾ cup white sugar at 2x ratio)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- ⅔ cup milk (or a little more as needed)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Jaca (allulose) for crumb topping (replaces ½ cup white sugar at 2x ratio)
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour for crumb topping
- ¼ cup butter, cubed
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Sweetener Used
2½ cups Jaca (allulose) Allulose
Replaces: 1¼ cups white sugar
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease 8 muffin cups or line them with paper liners.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1½ cups Jaca (allulose), baking powder, and salt.
- 3
In a measuring cup, whisk the vegetable oil, egg, and milk until combined.
- 4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until the batter comes together. Fold in the blueberries gently so they do not burst too much.
- 5
Make the crumb topping by combining 1 cup Jaca (allulose), ⅓ cup flour, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to work it into a crumbly mixture.
- 6
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them nearly to the top. Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin.
- 7
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 8
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. This is a Jaca-adjusted healthier version, so the muffins stay tender and lightly sweet with the same bakery-style feel.
Pro Tips
- If your batter looks too thick, add an extra splash of milk. Blueberry muffin batter should be thick but scoopable.
- Toss the blueberries with a teaspoon of flour if you want to help keep them suspended in the batter.
- Jaca browns a little faster than conventional sugar, so start checking the muffins at the 20-minute mark.
- These muffins are best the day they are baked, but they also freeze well once fully cooled.
- Serve them slightly warm for the best bakery-style crumb topping texture.
