Heavenly, gorgeous, and wonderful! I used them with fresh blueberries and they turned out fluffy white. I made them a second time with frozen blueberries and they had a purple tint to them. Lovely both ways and delicious! My new go-to blueberry muffin recipe! Thanks!

These were very yummy! I am certain my butter was too soft for the topping though. It never did get crumbly. Instead... it was a paste. I did put some on top of each muffin though. You can't tell from the pictures though. What happened was the topping went inside the muffins. The boys thought that was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing! Made for the May 2010 Aussie/NZ recipe swap.

Won a blueberry cook off against my wife with these delightful muffins! Making them again today, but doubling the batch and rounding off on a few ingredients. Thanks for sharing from everyone I shared the muffins with.:)
