"These muffins are so good. I double the blueberries. They are so full of antioxidants and vitamins that you can never have enough. And they taste so good." — MakeItHealthy

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, cinnamon in a small bowl with a fork until mixture resembles a coarse crumb.
Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Place applesauce into a 1 cup measuring cup; add egg and enough milk to fill cup; mix into flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes.

I only made two small adjustments to this recipe. I used "soured" lactose-free milk and I added a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. I actually got 12 muffins out of this recipe, not 8. I did also bake mine at 350* and they were done at exactly 20 minutes. These muffins were nicely moist, perfectly sweet and had the perfect amount of blueberries--out of the 12 muffins I made, there are three left.

Honestly? They were just OK. Made exactly as recipe states. Not impressed. Not worth the time and trouble it takes to make them especially when a good boxed recipe using wild Maine blueberries actually tastes much, much better. Next time a craving sets in, will head to the baking aisle of the local grocery and get a box mix.

While these muffins certainly are delish, I don't think they are exactly "healthy."

Great muffins! I also tried this recipe with a few modifications. Instead of miik I used almond milk (vanilla flavor). Also instead of 1-1/2 cup flour, I used 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour.

I was a tad nervous making a "healthier" muffin, but these came out moist, springy, and absolutely delish! I even used frozen berries since I had them in the freezer, and was 1/2 cup short but they are still bursting with berries! Put 2.8oz batter in each little cup, leaving only enough room for crumb topping and the muffin tops came out great! I had tons of topping left over though so you may want to make less to save waste. Made for Western Region Allstars Faceless Frenzy July 2012

I would give them five stars if they were really "healthier." Now, that being said...leave off the topping and make them in "regular" sized cups yeilding 16 muffins: You have yourself a 100 calorie treat!

Just made these muffins according to the recipe (which is the way a recipe should be reviewed the first time)but used a 12 muffin pan for smaller muffins. Came out great, but a little sweet, next time I'll reduce the sugar to one cup in the batter. Great taste just as is. Lots of blueberries makes it extra good. Sharyn
