Tasty Tuesday: Streusel-Topped Blueberry Muffins

Leighton went hunting with my brother, uncle, and grandfather. A bunch of men for a weekend. My grandma sent spaghetti; my sister-in-law sent sausage-tortellini soup; and I sent these muffins. I don't think we trust them to cook for themselves.

I also don't think they mind.

 Mix the dry ingredients.

 Measure the wet ingredients.

 Combine the two.

 Add the blueberries.

 Fill the muffin liners.

 Make the streusel.

Pour on the topping.

Please, for all that is good in the world, be generous.

Bake and enjoy!


This recipe really could not be any simpler. We've made these muffins many, many times, and they're always delicious. Make them for your hunter. Don't have a hunter? Make them anyway. They're good!
