BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH CINNAMON CRUMBLE

i have been loving blueberries, nature's candy. i was preparing for an office birthday for my boss and had a sweet little breakfast set up: make-your-own fruit & yogurt parfait, strawberry & blueberry salad, and blueberry muffins, which i thought would be an easy option for those who didn't have time to make a parfait. on my hunt on tastespotting, i found one titled, "cafe-style" and the photo looked tasty. i checked out the ingredients and the recipe and it seemed easy enough. the results looked oh-so professional, but definitely doable.

• 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
• 3/4 c white sugar
• 1/2 t salt
• 2 t baking powder
• 1/3 c vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1/3 c milk
• 1 c blueberries

preheat oven to 400°F. grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.

combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. place oil into a 1-cup measuring cup, add egg and add enough milk to fill the cup. mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients. fold in blueberries. fill muffin cups right to the top.

• 1/2 c white sugar
• 1/3 c all-purpose flour
• 1/4 c butter, cubed
• 1 1/2 t ground cinnamon

to make crumble topping: mix sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon with a fork or your hands. sprinkle over muffins before baking.

bake for 20-25 minutes.

my yummy tip: you should literally crumble the cinnamon mixture to get that crumb texture. if you press down lightly, it should help the crumb stay on once baked.
