Blueberry Muffins


Blueberry muffin   So... I searched the internet trying to find an awesome recipe for blueberry muffins and found two that looked especially good. I made both and had my family vote on which was best. This is the recipe they all loved the best, as did I! I think it is the crumb topping that is baked on that won us over!

Notes:
My youngest son prefers no crumb topping, so I leave a few without topping for him!
I like to double the batter, but not the crumb topping, as this makes a lot of crumb topping!
