Muffins and a visit

Today, Charlotte, Harrison and I went to visit my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin who live a couple of roads over from us. My Uncle recently had surgery and we thought we'd walk down to see how he was.


I thought I'd make some blueberry muffins for us all to have once we got there.


This recipe is from allrecipes.com but I was introduced to it by my friend Sarah. Sarah and I used to work together and often shared recipes. We often brought our baked goods in to share which is what Sarah did with these delicious muffins. Sarah now lives in Halifax and I miss our chats and fun we had each day, but we keep in touch via email and I LOVE her blog halfsweetvanilla.blogspot.com


This recipe makes 6 large muffins. They don't rise a lot, so you can fill the paper cups to the top and get a nice sized muffin. The quantities  for the topping makes more than enough for 6 muffins. I put the leftovers in a plastic bag and refrigerate it for the next time I make them. And if you try them once, you will make them again.


To Die for Blueberry Muffins


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 cup fresh blueberries (I use frozen)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture. To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.
