Blueberry Muffins with Cinnamon Crunch Topping

Isn't it a gorgeous morning?

It's taken about a year but my little one is finally sleeping better through the night.  He still wakes up 2 - 3 times per night but that doesn't bother me enough to where I miss the birds chirping in the morning as the sun rises.  I've always been a morning person but when you have a baby -- their schedule becomes your schedule.  For the longest time I wouldn't wake up before 10 a.m. because I would have been up all night with my little man.  Now he doesn't need to nurse as much and I am getting more sleep!  Gives me more energy to bake treats like these blueberry muffins...

 

Whenever I bake these muffins it's hard for me to stop myself from eating the whole batch as soon as they're out of the oven.  This was the recipe that stopped my search for the perfect blueberry muffin.  I love the crunchy topping and the soft muffin underneath with the juicy blueberries!  Hope you and your family enjoy them as much as we do :)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
