Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Oh Monday! I can’t tell if I loathe or heart you…

Amiright? Do you feel the same way every Monday morning?

Two thoughts always creep into my head:

Should I put on my big girl pants, toss my hair into a bun, and put on some 90’s rap music and handle the lovely Monday? Or,
Should I put on my biggest pair of sweatpants I own, jump back into bed, and hide under the abyss of covers, until my eyes escape the bright light that currently shines into my eyes through the bedroom window?

I always want to opt for #2, but with three kiddos that currently reside in the other two bedrooms of our home, it really isn’t an option. ;)

Reasons to Make Blueberry Streusel Muffins a Priority in Your Life:

They are magnificently delicious.
You need them.
You want them.
They make a great grab-on-the-go breakfast.
They will make you appear to be a baking rockstar (and who doesn’t want to be a rockstar?)

Oh-la-la! Look at that streusel topping on top of those muffins. ?? Reason #6: Streusel topping.

These blueberry streusel muffins are well worth the 20 min of prep work that goes into making them. Don’t let the directions scare you. If Molli (age 11) can make them unassisted (following the recipe), then so can you!

Go on with your bad-self. Be a baking rockstar.
