Greetings my food friends!  On today’s menu are Blueberry Streusel Muffins.  I found this recipe back in college when I only had a couple of cookbooks.  Several years (eek!) and dozens upon dozens of cookbooks later, I’ve never made another blueberry muffin recipe.  That good.  Easy to make and delicious to eat, I was happy to have these for breakfast all week!

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1.  Heat oven to 400°.  Grease bottoms only of 12 medium muffin cups, 2 1/2 x 1 1/4 inches, with shortening, or line with paper baking cups.

2. Prepare Streusel Topping; set aside.  (See directions above)

3. Beat milk, oil, vanilla, and egg in large bowl.  Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt all at once just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).  Fold in blueberries.  Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.  Sprinkle each with about 2 teaspoons topping.

4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.  Immediately remove from pan to wire rack.  Serve warm if desired.

For the streusel topping, add your flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a medium bowl.

Cut in your butter or margarine. I just used a fork to blend it in.

Combine until crumbly and set aside. Time to mix up your muffins!

Stir together your flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Beat together your milk, oil, vanilla, and egg in a large bowl.

Add your dry mix all at once.

Stir until just combined.

I coat my blueberries with flour so that they will not all sink to the bottom of the muffins. Powdered sugar would work too.

Add to your muffin mix.

Gently fold the blueberries in.

Divide the batter evenly between 12 cupcake lined muffin cups. Sprinkle the streusel topping on top of each muffin.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from pan and let cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy!
