BlueBerry Streusel Muffins

So I know that I said last post I wasn't eating sugar... well, sugary treats. I don't feel that this recipe really counts as a sugary treat... so that's why I made it and don't feel one bit bad about eating them. Besides, they have real fresh blueberries in them so they're healthy right?!


This morning I woke up and just had a hankering for something fluffy and sweet. Now these muffins are not quite as sweet as a normal muffin, but they make up for it in fluffiness.

FIRST:
Mix 2 1/3 cup flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
--Set mixture aside--

SECOND:
Cream in a different bowl 1/3 cup sugar and
1/4 cup butter.

THIRD:
Mix 1 egg really well into sugar mixture.

FORTH:
Add the flour mixture to the creamed sugar mixture a little bit at a time, alternating with 1 cup milk; mix really well then add 1 teaspoon vanilla.

FIFTH:
Fold in 1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (or any kind of berry)

SIXTH:
Drop large spoonfuls of batter into greased or papered muffin cups.

SEVENTH:
In a different bowl combine 1/2 cup sugar with 1/3 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
Cut in 1/4 cup butter.

EIGHTH:
Top muffin batter with the streusel mixture and bake at 375 for 25-30 mins.

They are super yummy right out of the oven, but I do really like them when they have cooled and are a little heavier.

This morning I 1 1/2'd the recipe and it made 24 muffins. I seriously ate probably 6 or 7 already... and I'm excited to eat a couple more for breakfast tomorrow, a couple more for lunch, and even a couple more for dinner... they are SO good. THE BEST EVER.
Try them and let me know what you think.
