Seven years ago I found this recipe and it has been the only one we’ve made since. These resemble our favorite blueberry crumb muffin mix from Duncan Hines. The ones with the crumb topping and fresh homemade taste. I found myself buying a box or two of muffin mix every time I went grocery shopping, and that adds up over time. And as delicious as they were, I wanted something that used fresh blueberries instead of canned. So I started searching online and trying any and every blueberry recipe that looked similar until I found this one.

This blueberry crumb muffins recipe is better because they ARE homemade.

My darling friend, Sadee, who is just 10 years old made these to help her mom out for a baby shower they hosted in their home. They turned out amazing! I was even able to sample one while I was there. They kept telling everyone it was my recipe and I kept correcting everyone that it was from Allrecipes. Gotta love Allrecipes, it’s been my go-to recipe site for over a decade now. I love websites that include honest reviews and will never try a recipe on there without reading the reviews first.

Sometimes I use half whole wheat flour and they taste just as great. To make them even healthier, omit the crumb topping. My kids like them either way. We package any leftovers up for lunches throughout the week. It’s fun to add variety to the plain ol’ pb&j in their lunches.

    I have made these at least once a week for several months – I think I may be addicted to them! If your muffins are dry, it may be a slightly confusing instruction in the recipe. It calls for 1/3 cup of milk in the ingredient list, and then in the directions it says to use “enough milk to fill the cup,” which is a little more than 1/3 cup. Try this again – they are too good to pass over just for one small mistake. Also, when I have my dry ingredients mixed together, I put a tablespoon or two of the mixture in a sandwich bag, add the blueberries and shake gently to toss the berries in the flour. This keeps them from sinking to the bottom while baking. This works with both fresh and frozen berries.
