I’m not sure if there is anything food wise that reminds me of growing up like blueberries. Maybe it’s because I was an extremely picky eater as a child and blueberries were one of the few foods I loved, or maybe it was because we always had freshly picked blueberries on hand. Regardless, one of my many blueberry pleasures is blueberry muffins. So when I was thinking about how I could elevate the standard muffin I thought why not a take a que from my blueberry nut crumble and make blueberry muffins with a nut crumble topping? That crunch combined with warm fresh blueberries and just a hint of cinnamon and vanilla…well lets just say I don’t think I’ll be going back to “standard” blueberry muffins anytime soon. truly, MKR
