IRRESISTIBLE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

This Wednesday was a very special day for us. Besides being the first day of summer vacation (FINALLY), Hungary was playing against Portugal in the Euro Soccer Cup. Talk about an adrenaline rush in the morning! No coffee needed but if I must, then let's make some irresistible blueberry muffins to go with it. I have to admit, it took me triple the time to prepare this easy but delish recipe due to watching the game and screaming in delight every time Hungary scored another goal. Who cares if I had to remeasure my ingredients more than once, had to keep my eyes on the ball... Luckily, muffins turned out great, could barely take the pictures fast enough before the kids devoured some of them, still warm. 

Ingredients for 12 muffins:

  • 1 & 1/2 cups of all-purpose-flour
  • 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup of milk
  • 1 & 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries

For topping:

  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 & 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line muffin cups with muffin liners. Combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add eggs, vegetable oil, and milk to dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in blueberries, be gentle not to break up fruit.

For topping, mix together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and add melted butter. Mix well with fork until butter gets absorbed and mixture is crumb-ish. Fill muffin cups right to top and then top it with crumb mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until top is golden brown and toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy! Go Hungary!
