What a joy to set out a basket of these moist blueberry muffins topped with a super streusel on the brunch buffet. People rave when they taste them for the first time. —Mary Anne McWhirter, Pearland, Texas
Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

I thought the muffins themselves were a little dry and flavorless. The streusel was the best part but it wasn't really enough.

Recently I have had to go to a gluten free diet. I decided to substitute regular flour for gluten free all purpose flour. I added 1 1/2 tsp. xanthum gum(found at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's) to help them rise. The result was wonderful and I plan to use this recipe in the future.

When I made these muffins the second time, they turned out great! I'd give this a 5, but I guess I can't do that, since I already rated this recipe.

Best blue berry muffins I ever made.

The streusel sunk into some of the muffins so that you couldn't even tell they were there. Tasted good anyway.

I like to add lemon or orange zest in my blueberry muffin receipe. You can put some int he batter and a little in the topping as well. Adjust to your own taste.

I didn't read the reviews before I made these muffins, I am such a blueberry fan. I wondered about the denseness of the batter, but went ahead. I used 2 cups of berries instead of 1 1/2 c. Oh my! The flavor is so wonderful!!! Thank you!

Made these this morning, simple easy recipe which is dense and rather bland even with the streusel topping. I did add a tsp. cinnamon to the batter after reading the reviews but, it was agreed that my tried & true Blueberry Lemon Yogurt muffins were the hands down winner which I may make next time and top with the streusel from this recipe.

Love the streusel topping. I substituted 1 cup old fashioned oats for 1 cup of the flour. Also added a little brown sugar.

I make these every years when I can find fresh blueberries. I do not use the streusel topping, I think it is too sweet. I do add white chocolate chops to the batter.

Wow! I was pleasantly surprised with the strusel topping on these muffins, and in my opinion was the best part about them! It wasn't your average soft crumbly run of the mill topping, it baked into almost a toffee like crunch. Suuuuperr yum! I will be making these for Christmas brunch this year and reccomend them for any occasion or sweet craving :)

This recipe was great as is. I plan to make them again and don't see the need to change anything. The batter is really thick and hard to stir but the muffins were moist and soft and worth the trouble. I didn't have any problems reheating them either. They only need 10-15 seconds though. Any more than that and most breads get tough in the microwave.

Added more blueberries and sugar. The batter didn't have a lot of flavor and I really wanted to taste the muffin itself. Next time I would add a little more blueberries and a better struesel along with tweeking the batter a little.

Tasty, but more of a bread-dense cake consistency versus a muffin consistency. I had a really hard time folding in the blueberries because of how dense the dough was. I'd make it again, but might tweak the recipe a bit to see if I can help that.

I love the streusel part! I just started weight watchers and can still use this recipe -- its only 5 points per muffin!

While these were pretty good, they seemed like they were missing something. The batter was also very think, almost like a bread batter and I think that gave the muffins a little bit of a bland taste. If I would make these again I think I would experiment a little with the ingredients.

These are fantastic muffins, especially fresh, right out of the oven! However, FYI, they will not reheat well in a microwave due to the butter in the struesel.

These turned out well, they're really great. I used a LOT of streusel on the muffins, and there was still a lot leftover, though.

These muffins are great! I've tried many blueberry muffin recipes and have usually been disappointed. I doubled this recipe and made 12 Jumbo muffins. I did not double the streusel topping, and it covered the 12 Jumbo muffins perfectly without overloading them. Great recipe; thanks for posting it. :)
