Favorite Blueberry Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

One of my kids’ favorite things are these muffins, hands down. I even sent my oldest to overnight summer camp with a batch of these for him and his cabin mates upon his request. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, but don’t expect them to last long before they’re eaten up!

Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray, and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

Place the canola or vegetable oil in a measuring cup. Add the egg, then fill it the rest of the way with milk to the 1 cup marker. Pour the measuring cup into the flour mixture along with the vanilla, and stir until just combined. Make sure to not over-stir the batter.

Fold in the blueberries, then spoon about 1/4 cup of the muffin batter into each of the tins, or until each are about two thirds full. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, add the white sugar, cinnamon, and flour for the streusel. Soften the butter and cut into small squares. Add the butter into the streusel mixture, then cut it in with a fork or whisk. This is easiest with a fork, turning the bowl as you go to thoroughly break up the butter and mix it into the sugar and flour.

Spoon the streusel over the muffin batter in the baking tin, lightly pushing it into the top of the batter as you go. It’s okay if there’s excess streusel; this can be poured on top once all of the muffins are covered. Baking for approximately 20 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.

Let the muffins sit in the tin for about ten minutes. Afterwards, remove them to a cooling rack to let them finish cooling before placing in an airtight container. These can be stored at room temperature for three days or in the fridge for up to a week.
