One of our favorite things to do in the summer is visit a local farm to pick fruits and vegetables. It is so important to me that my kids have an understanding of where their food comes from. Plus, the awesome farm near us does not use chemicals on their berries so many times I find the kids eating them straight off the bush!
How beautiful are these berries?!!
At the end of the day, we had a huge, gorgeous bowl of blueberries. My kids ate tons of them fresh, and we decided to make the rest into muffins.
Now, I will be the first to admit that I am a better teacher than a cook. (As evidenced here!) However-- these muffins are sinfully good, and so easy to make. Even I can't mess them up! The secret is in the crumb topping. So. So. Good!
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. (3 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt)
Mix the wet ingredients together (2/3 cup milk, 2/3 cup oil, 2 eggs)
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, and fold in blueberries. (You can use as many as you'd like!)
Here's the best part. Mix together a crumb topping. (1/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 4 Tbsp. butter, 1 Tbsp. cinnamon) Fill the muffin pans until they are almost full. Add the crumb topping to each one. Bake at 400* for 25 minutes. Then, eat them up!
I hope that you are enjoying the summer with your children!
I love muffins with crumble topping!
