If you’ve read my socials, you would have figured out that I am developing an array of blueberry recipes! No surprise then, that this Blueberry Streusel Muffin is a the latest instalment of blueberry recipe series.

These Blueberry Streusel Muffins are soft, moist and fluffy and topped with a cruncy caramelized streusel!

Approximately 4 years back when I first started sharing my recipes, my original Blueberry Muffin recipe was really well-received.

However, what makes these Blueberry Streusel Muffins different goes beyond the crunch: the base is less sweet. Understandably, a base that is too-sweet could crowd out the natural sweetness of the blueberries. As such, in this revision, I thought to offer these Blueberry Streusel Muffins which has a less sweet base but some of the sugar is transferred to the top!

Additionally and for those who don’t know, a streusel is a topping made of butter, flour and sugar. However, I took the liberty to add a touch of cinnamon to mine (and a little goes a long way)!

Furthermore I am also glad that these Blueberry Streusel Muffins are easy to assemble and come together in no time. As such, these makes the perfect go-to snack or a stressfree baking session to unwind.

Nonetheless, you can also consider topping it off with Cinnamon Sugar as shown in the picture!

With that, presenting to you the recipe for these crunchy yet soft Blueberry Streusel Muffins!
