Blueberry Crumble Muffins

I've wanted to make muffins for ages, and finally buying those big tulip muffin cases you see in bakeries meant I had no excuse not to try out a new recipe. I've never made a blueberry muffin before, and one recipe that caught my eye was the lovely Ruth's off The Pink Whisk. She had the great idea of putting a crumble topping on the muffins, and they looked amazing, I had to try them! 

Recipe

• 180g self raising flour
• 55g soft light brown sugar
• 150ml milk
• 1 egg, large
• 25g melted butter
• 100g blueberries

 Crumble Topping (I've halved the original recipe here as I found it made far too much!)

• 1 tbsp flour
• 5g butter, softened
• 1 tbsp oats
• 1/2 tbsp soft light brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 170c. Stir the flour and sugar together.

In a jug, add the milk, egg and melted butter and whisk together.

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the liquids, stirring with a wooden spoon.

 

Add the blueberries. I put half of them in whole and mashed the other half up. 

Pour the mixture into muffin cases. I found that I got 5 muffins out of this recipe, so you can always double it if you want more. 

To make the crumble topping, rub the butter into the flour, then add the oats and sugar and mix well.

Sprinkle onto the muffins and bake for about 45 mins. (If you don't have the large muffin cases, they will probably take half this time!)

 Take them out of the oven, let them cool and enjoy! They don't taste too unhealthy and are perfect with a cup of tea!
