Breakfast Muffins

Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping


I made these muffins this morning from Martha Stewart Living.  I couldn't find them on the website, so the recipe is posted below.  They are DELICIOUS!  

Breakfast Muffins:

Makes 12

10 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped (I used 1/4 tsp vanilla - who keeps vanilla beans on hand?)
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup milk, room temperature
1 large egg, room temperature
1 1/4 cups fruit, such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or peaches
Streusel (follows)


1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Butter standard muffin tin.  Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl; whisk to combine.
2. In a medium bowl, combine butter, vanilla bean scrapings, sugar, milk, and egg; whisk to combine.  Fold butter mixture and fruit into flour mixture; use no more than 10 strokes.
3. Spoon 1/4 cup batter into each prepared cup; press 2 Tbsp streusel on top of each.  Bake until tops are golden, 15 to 17 minutes.  Remove from oven; let cool in pan 15 to 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.  Serve warm or at room temperature.
