Blueberry Muffins with Streusel

When I think of my favorite summertime fruits, blueberries are one of the first that to come to mind. They can be enjoyed in many ways and added into a lot of different dishes. One recipe I have really enjoyed making are these delicious blueberry muffins with a streusel topping. They are light, fluffy, moist and have just the right amount of sweet flavor. The cinnamon streusel topping is delightful and warm – adding to the nutritional value of these blueberry muffins. 

They are a huge hit at my house and I would love to share the recipe with you! I hope you enjoy these as much as I do! 

Happy Summer, friends!

• 2 cups fresh blueberries 

Streusel Topping:

• 4 Tbsp butter, room temperature

Instructions

Muffins:

• Preheat your oven to 400°

Streusel:

Using a pastry blender (or two forks), cut the butter into the flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon until the mixture resembles course crumbs.

Bake:

• Spoon the batter into the muffin cups – filling about 3/4 of each cup
• Place 2 Tbsp of mixed streusel on the top of the muffin batter in each muffin cup
