NOTES

• Recipe from Better Homes & Garden Cookbook

INGREDIENTS

Muffins:

• 1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/3 c. sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 beaten egg
• 3/4 c. milk

Streusel Topping:

• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour

• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or other nut

DIRECTIONS:
1. Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper cups and set aside
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and set aside.
3. In another bowl, combine egg, milk, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Fold in blueberries.
4. Make streusel by combining all ingredients except butter and nuts in a bowl then cutting in the butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles course crumbs. Stir in the chopped nuts.
5. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full. Sprinkle with topping and bake at 400 for 15-18 minutes (depending on your oven) or until a wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Do NOT overcook. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
