Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Yesterday was a REALLY stressful day at work and I didn’t even have time for any lunch – I can tell you, I was a big mess by the end of the day! So, on the way home, in order to satisfy the rumbling in my stomach, I bought a tempting looking blueberry muffin from a very well-known coffee shop chain. It looked so tasty, but actually was pretty dry and dull.

Here’s my rather superior 😉 lucysfriendlyfoods version, topped with crumbly streusel and crammed with blueberries. This is the perfect way to use up slightly tired wrinkled blueberries (I know how they feel).
