Top Shelf Blueberry Muffins

Submitted by MacChef

"Throw your old muffin recipe away! This one is the best! The topping is optional, but it is the way we like it. Adding blueberries to the top before baking make these muffins look like they are bursting with berries."

These muffins were very easy to make and they taste great. I used frozen, thawed, well-drained wild blueberries and I think I would like the muffins better using fresh blueberries. The streusel on the top was still a little flour-y so I think I would add some more butter next time. Thanks for posting ~ I'll be trying them again with my changes :)
