6. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup just over the top, and bake 10 minutes.

8. Enjoy!

FABULOUS MUFFINS! There were perfect, moist and flavorful with out being heavy or gummy. The topping adds a nice amount of sweetness and crunch without being overwhelming. I used frozen blueberries dusted in flour and salted butter, other this and cutting the recipe in half I made it as written. The half recipe made 8 which surprised me because I usually get fewer than recipes state. I will definetly make these again! Thanks Sharon for sharing :) Made for PRMRT

I can say from experience that all the rave reviews for this recipe are absolutely deserved! The recipe made 6 big muffins in my extra-large muffin tin. SO moist and delicious! Next time I'll remember to dust the blueberries in the flour mixture first, per some other reviews. And I'm Thinkin' I might add some lemon zest, too ... just a pinch. Everyone loved them. I'll definitely be making more soon!

Lovely recipe! I used frozen blueberries and should have followed momaphet's advice and dusted with flour because my blueberries bunched together. I discovered--too late- that I did not have paper liners so kept them in muffin pan for 5 minutes before dumping them out and they came out fine. This recipe makes a lot more than 12 regular size muffins. Thank you for another great recipe.

These muffins are delicious! Packed with blueberries, nice and moist. I loved the crunchy sweet topping which was a great addition since the muffins themselves are not overly sweet. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
