We love blueberries. I am always finding recipes to use blueberries in. I came across this recipe at all recipes and decided to give it a try. The topping sounded delicious and it was. It gave the top a nice sweet crunch and some even seeped down into the center and made a filling. The whole thing was just delicious.
I swapped out the oil for applesauce. I always try to cut calorie corners where I can and make things healthier. Rest assured that you cannot taste the difference but if you are concerned you can use vegetable oil instead. I used my jumbo muffin tin but if you use regular size pans only bake for 18 minutes. Also, make double the streusel topping if you use a smaller pan so that way you get the filling in the center. Make sure you use liners in your pan otherwise your muffins might stick because of the topping.
- 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/3 c. apple sauce, unsweetened
- 1 egg
- 1/3 c. skim milk
- 1 c. fresh blueberries
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/4 c. butter, cubed
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
- To make streusel topping mix together flour, sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until everything is coated in butter. Set aside.
- Combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Place applesauce into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries.
- Place cupcake liners in the pan. Fill muffin cups right to the top. Sprinkle streusel topping over muffins before baking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool before removing from pan.

I almost always leave out the oil and use any fruit puree it's tastes great that way!
Thanks for linking up to Just Another Meatless Monday and I hope to see you next week!
I will second you on using the applesauce. It does not affect the taste and saves on the calories. I have tons of blueberries and I am excited to try your streusel.
