Blueberry Crumble Muffins

Happy Labor Day! I hope you're enjoying your weekend with family and friends! We're spending our last day up at the lake today and then tomorrow is the first day of school!

For the first day of school, I'm planning to serve up these delicious Blueberry Crumble Muffins. Filled with beautiful fresh blueberries and topped with a cinnamon sugar crumb mixture, these muffins are sure to please!

I know Dane is going to love school. We have a paper chain countdown hanging from his doorknob in his bedroom, and each day as he removes a link from the chain he knows he's one day closer to the big day. I think I'm watching that chain as closely as he is as it gets smaller and smaller each and every day.

 Soon he'll have homework, swim lessons and field trips. Am I ready for this? I'm not sure. But I know that he is. Isn't it funny how sometimes we as parents are the ones feeling anxious - maybe a little worried - and our children act as if they're ready to take on the world?

On the way home from the open house I said to him, "So what do you think, bud? This is going to be a bit different then daycare, huh?" He replied, "After the first week, I'll have everything figured out." You know what? I believe he very well may.

I love seeing life through my children's eyes. It gives me a new perspective and makes me look at things differently. I'm honestly excited about tomorrow, too. New friends, new processes, new experiences. He's going to do great.

I can't wait to hear how his first day goes. We're going to start the day out right with these delicious muffins and, who knows, we may very well end our day with them, too. This is the beginning of a new adventure for our entire family. My little boy is growing up!

Ingredients

• ▢ For the Muffins
• ▢ 1 ½ cups flour
• ▢ 1 cup white sugar
• ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ▢ 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ▢ ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• ▢ ½ teaspoon salt
• ▢ ⅓ cup milk
• ▢ 1 egg
• ▢ 1 cup fresh blueberries or fruit of choice
• ▢ Crumble Topping
• ▢ ⅔ cup brown sugar
• ▢ ¼ cup flour
• ▢ 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ▢ 2 tablespoons butter (softened)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place liners inside the cups of your muffin pan and spray with nonstick spray.
• Combine 1 ½ cups flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Add in ⅓ cup vegetable oil, egg and ⅓ cup milk.
• Fold in the blueberries and vanilla and fill the muffin cups.
• Sprinkle the muffins with the crumb mixture.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until done

Crumble Topping

• Mix together brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins halfway through baking.

Notes

1. Avoid Overmixing: When making the muffin batter, avoid overmixing the ingredients once the wet and dry ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in tough and dense muffins. Instead, gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine and will ensure tender and moist muffins.
2. Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries add a burst of flavor and juiciness to the muffins. Ensure you use ripe, fresh blueberries for the best results. If fresh blueberries are not available, you can use frozen blueberries, but do not thaw them before adding them to the batter. Frozen blueberries may bleed more into the batter, resulting in slightly purple-hued muffins, but they will still be delicious.
3. Properly Prepare Crumble Topping: Ensure the crumble topping is properly mixed and evenly distributed over the muffins before baking. Use a fork to combine the brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over each muffin before baking to add a sweet and crunchy texture. If desired, gently press the crumble topping into the muffin batter to help it adhere during baking.
