Blueberry Muffins with Cinnamon Streusel Topping

So I was excited to find out that my recipe for Caramel Latte Cake is being featured over at Delicious Dish Tuesday today! Check it out, along with all of the other wonderful recipes being featured!

There's just something about homemade blueberry muffins. The store-bought ones are great too, but there's nothing like making them from scratch, and they're so easy! I made these for Adam for Valentine's Day and they were a hit!

You will need:

For the muffins: 
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

1/3 cup milk

1 cup fresh blueberries

For the topping: 

1/2 cup white sugar

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup butter, cubed

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.

Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder.

Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup.

Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries gently. 

Make the topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon.

Cut in the 1/4 cup butter with a fork or pastry blender. 

Mixture should resemble coarse crumbs: 

Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until topping is browned and toothpick inserted comes out clean. 

Enjoy!
