Straight from my oldest daughter..."I'm full, this is gross." While nobody else in the house shared her exact feeling for these, we all admit these just weren't the best. Not much flavor at all. I think all the flavor is in the topping.

I made these for a sick friend. He has not smiled in weeks, but these muffins brought a big grin to his face. My whole family gave this recipe a huge thumbs up. The only change I made was to throw in a little extra lemon zest (why waste it?) Otherwise, it is perfect!

The batter was so thick, I could hardly get them in the muffin tin. I agree that this batter is on the tasteless side, however I found them to be good. Next time I will make more streusel topping and layer it in between the batter. I'm still undecided as to what to add to this batter to make it shine.

These muffins are beautiful & absolutely delicious. Simply follow the recipe & they are quite simple. I had some trouble getting them out of my greased muffin pan b/c they were so soft...so I might suggest using liners.

the streusel was a bit runny/buttery the first time i made these... they ran all the way into the middle of the muffin which made it seem as if it was uncooked. but, they taste really awesome!

These were good muffins the first day, however by the next day they were pretty dry. I doubled the strusel topping which was the best part of the muffin. Overall it's a good muffin if you eat it on the first day.

Very moist, though a tad dense. Not bad though. The batter doesn't have much flavor to it, but the streusel topping was excellent. The trick with the flour on the blueberries worked great as well! I'll definitely try this one again, but maybe with 1/2 brown sugar in the batter., and some cinnamon.

The best ever!!! I'm what you might call a "Blueberry Muffin Conneseuir" and this is the most outstanding recipe!! I also liked how the measurements were repeated in the directions, this prevented me from having to look back and forth from the ingredients list and the directions. Great job!

These were good. It was hard to try not to overmix so I used the advice of other cooks and dumped the flour and milk in at the same time and mixed. It was definitely a lot of work for some muffins. I felt like I was making a cake.

These muffins are the best! I stopped looking for muffin recipes after I tried this one. I make them with breakfast/brunch item. Simply wonderful. They are beautiful, moist, and everyone loves the crunchy top.

I used some of the variations others suggested in the reviews. I used lemon flavoring for the zest, I used brown sugar for the white ,and I added 1/4 tsp of vanilla flavoring to the topping. I also melted my butter in the mix and I used self-rising flour instead of plain because I was out of plain and left out the salt and baking powder. My only complaint is that folding the flour and milk in left little lumps of flour in my batter which did not cook in the batter so I had a few pieces of white flour in my muffins. Also my topping melted and went to the bottom of my muffins so we could not eat the bottom. I think this was because my butter was not cold enough. I also used smart balance for the butter. And I used frozen blueberries. Next time I will use my hand mixer when when alternating flour and milk on low speed and I will sift my flour. Other wise a pretty good muffln. will give another try.

These were good, but I don't know if they were worth the effort to make since I prefer the ones at my local bakery. But if you like to bake, these are pretty good.

Wonderfully moist and delicious. The streusel topping is a nice addition to the blueberry flavor. I'm going to bake another dozen right now.

Very disappointing. I've had better store bought muffins. They were heavy and bland. The streusel top was pretty good, but that and the only other real flavor came from the blueberries. I will not make these again.

I made these mufins this morning for my brothes birthday- and I agree with the previous comment that keeping all the ingredients seperate makes you have to mix more, not less. They were okay, but a little dense.

I really enjoyed these muffins. They were moist and the topping was delicious. They were a lot of work to make, but worth the effort. I will make them again. I subsituted lemon juice for lemon zest and mixed brown and white sugars in the topping.

Eh. Lots of extra work for average muffins, in my opinion. I think the muffins would come out nicer if you just add the milk to the butter mixture and then add the flour mixture all at once; the way the recipe is written, it's difficult to NOT overwork the batter. I probably won't try it again, though; it just wasn't anything exciting. Nice, predictable, okay muffins. Frankly, I liked the batter more than the muffins. And just in case you're considering it: These do NOT ship well. I baked them, let them cool, and shipped them two-day express all in the same day, and they were rancid when they arrived.
