Blueberry Muffins From Scratch

Yummm!!


Kate and I walked up the farmers market, with Jaime and Alex too, today and got some Michigan Blueberries. Fresh blueberry muffins sounded fun. I whipped up a batch while Kate took her nap, which was way to short today. So easy to make. Box blueberry muffins do not compare! I made two batches. The first batch is basic and I drizzled some powder sugar glaze (with some fresh lemon squeezed in). The second batch has a cinnamon crumble on top. Holy cow crumble topping! So awesome. The first batch can't compete with crumble topping. I got the recipe off All Recipes.


Just a little glazed over

All the crumble goodness!


Hot! Don't Touch!

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup milk
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour

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. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.
