Blueberry Muffins Recipe

I have been a baking fiend the past few weeks in an effort to utilize the multitude of blueberries that we yielded over our two berry-picking trips to The Berry Shed in Webb City.

Luckily, I came across a “To Die For” recipe for blueberry muffins on allrecipes.com and tweaked it a bit.

Juicy berries + streusel topping = heaven!

Blueberry Muffins (makes a dozen)

Ingredients:

1  1/2  cup all-purpose flour

3/4   cup white sugar

1/2   tsp salt

2  tsp baking powder

1/2  cup vegetable oil

1  egg

1/2 cup milk

1  cup fresh blueberries

1/2  cup white sugar

1/3  cup all-purpose flour

1/4  cup butter, cubed

1 1/2  tsp ground cinnamon

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.

2.  Combine first four ingredients in a large bowl (flour through baking powder).

3.  In a smaller bowl, whisk together oil, egg and milk.  Pour into flour mixture and combine until well-blended.

4.  Fold in blueberries.  Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups.  Sprinkle with crumb topping.

5.  To make crumb topping:  Combine last four ingredients (sugar through cinnamon); use for to mix.  Sprinkle over muffins before baking.

6.  Bake 20-25 minutes in preheated oven until done.

Yum!  Enjoy the season!

Living Life to The Fullest!

I love seeking out new experiences and finding places off the beaten path. I started Joplin MO Life in August 2013 as a way to share my discoveries with others in the Joplin community so that they can learn about the resources that exist right in their own backyards.

I have worked in education and event planning, and have always loved to write. I hold a master's degree in journalism from the University of Oklahoma and a bachelor's degree in marketing from Tulane University.
