This is a very important recipe to me, not only because these muffins are absolutely delicious, but because this was the first recipe I ever made myself. I spent many hours making sure it was perfect, and it paid off. I truly believe these are as perfect as I can make them, and I am extremely proud of how they’ve turned out after all this time.
A couple of years ago, I spent the whole summer working on crafting the perfect muffin recipe. I knew it had to be sweet, but I didn’t want it to feel like you were eating a cupcake. I also wanted the streusel to crumble perfectly both on the visually on the muffin and physically in your mouth. I tried apple muffins, coffee cake muffins, cranberry orange muffins, but everyone’s favorite seemed to be these particular blueberry muffins which meant that the blueberries needed to be able to sit all throughout the muffin without sinking to the bottom when baked.
When I started the process of creating this recipe years ago, it was one of those activities I tried because I wanted a delicious muffin, not because I wanted to post about it. Although now this is exactly the type of thing that I post about, I think that this hobby coming from a place of pure enjoyment for the craft has made my current experience of making recipes for sharing more enjoyable.
