Description
Blueberry Streusel Muffins are a delightful variation of the classic blueberry muffin, characterized by a crumble topping made of brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. The muffin batter itself is soft, slightly tangy due to buttermilk, and packed with fresh blueberries that burst with flavor when baked. The streusel topping adds a crunchy, caramelized contrast to the moist muffin, making each bite a perfect balance of sweetness, texture, and flavor.
