Muffins are a great way to start the day, especially when they are warm and fresh. These blueberry muffins are no exception and the crumble on top makes them even tastier! I use fresh blueberries, but you can substitute with frozen berries if you aren’t able to find tasty fresh ones during the colder months. These muffins are soft and fluffy and a perfect balance of sweet and salty. The blueberries add a slightly sweet burst of flavor that soften while baking and make perfect pockets of flavor. For my crumble, I have chosen to add a little more salt to get a great balance – if you have ever had a blueberry muffin from starbucks, their crumble is on the saltier side which I absolutely love, so I tried to channel that here! Another great thing is that you can make these ahead of time and eat them all week! They are great for a crowd too if you are wanting to treat your friends or family with some fresh baked goods. Pro Tip: slice the muffin in half, add some butter on both sides, and heat for 20-30 seconds to melt the butter. This pro tip actually comes from my dad – growing up anytime we had muffins (homemade or store bought), he would always add a pat of butter and warm them up! They may be even tastier this way.

To Make:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 muffin tins with liners

- Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk while adding. Mix until all the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
