Yummy Blueberry Muffin Recipe

I love fresh strawberries and blueberries.

I can remember spending my summers at my great grandparents house in Vilas, NC (outside of Boone). Just the smell of fresh country air is something I will never forget.

My cousins and I would climb the many hills and mountains that were the backyard for my country folk.

On many excursions we would find bushes and bushes of wild blueberries.

We would take milk cartons that were cut in half to collect our blueberry treasures.

Every time I make blueberry muffins I am reminded of the innocent summer fun that awaited me each June.

How I miss those days!

Here is one of my favorite & easy blueberry muffin recipes:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/3 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 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
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.
