  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  7. To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, and melted butter in a small mixing bowl. Stir until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffin batter.
  9. Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

  • If using frozen blueberries, rinse them under cold water to remove any ice crystals before adding them to the batter.
  • Substitute walnuts or almonds for pecans if desired.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
