- Make the crumble topping. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon and mix with a fork until crumbly. Put aside.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, add the blueberries and mix until just combined, don’t overmix the batter because the muffins will turn out tough.

- Remove from the oven, leave the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
Muffin liners
If you can, try and use muffin liners that are non-stick because the muffins tend to stick to the regular ones making it difficult to remove.
If you can not buy them, make parchment liners with baking paper as we do, they are quick to make.
These liners also have high sides so you can fill the holes to the top with batter. The tall sides also guide the batter up during baking giving you nice tall muffins.
