About this recipe
Blueberry muffins are the muffins to rule all muffins.
These blueberry muffins are soft and moist. They have lots of juicy blueberries and are topped with a crunchy, cinnamon streusel that make them extra special.
This recipe for Blueberry Muffins (with Streusel Topping) is a very low-tech recipe (no mixer, please) and very quick to make, too. This makes them perfect, really, for any time of day, any day of the week.

Tips:
Here are 3 helpful tips:
1) Mix the streusel with a fork.
– That way, you’ll get that wonderful, craggy, crunchy texture on top of your muffins.


2) Stir the muffin batter until just combined.
– Mix the muffins with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. There is less chance of over-mixing with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon than with an electric mixer. Over-mixing will make your muffins tough and dense instead of soft and tender.

3) Let your muffins cool a bit before removing them from the pan.
– Wait a few minutes before moving your Blueberry Muffins (with Streusel Topping) to a cooling rack, especially if they are not in cupcake papers. They are very soft and may need a little time to set.
