Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Best enjoyed as a fresh breakfast or a fruity dessert, these Blueberry Streusel Muffins will be a new household staple. They combine all the best features of a blueberry muffin (with its pops of juicy freshness) and a coffee cake (with its signature crumb topping) to create a supreme everyday muffin. The muffin itself is light and airy, with exploding pockets of blueberry, and the streusel topping is just the right amount of crumbly to coat the muffin without excess crumbs shaking off all over your floor. The smell of these muffins baking will perfume your whole kitchen and draw all the children near.

You can make these muffins all year round with fresh or frozen blueberries. Stock up on the berries when they’re in season and freeze them to enjoy all year long. If you’re using frozen blueberries in this muffin recipe, rinse and drain thawed berries, then pat them dry with paper towels. This will help to prevent discoloration of the batter. You can also swap out blueberries for your berries of choice, from strawberries to blackberries, to put your own spin on this classic berry muffin recipe.
