Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Who doesn't love a good muffin? We were having breakfast for dinner a couple nights ago and I thought we'd shake things up a bit by having muffins instead of toast with dinner. My girls were more than happy about the change of pace and we all enjoyed these.

The recipe is not overly sweet, so if you decide to forgo the streusel topping, I'd increase the amount of sugar in the recipe to 1/2 c. (based on other reviews). I would also add an extra 1/2 c. of blueberries, but that might be because my oldest kept helping herself to the blueberries before we added them to the batter. :)
