To Die For Blueberry Muffins/ Loaf

My husband said the one day that he wanted blueberry muffins.  I asked my BFF if she could send me the recipe she uses to make her blueberry muffins from scratch.  They are called To Die For Blueberry Muffins.  Now instead of muffins, I went the lazy route and just put the batter in a loaf pan.  Sometimes standing there putting batter in the muffin cups is just too tedious for me.  haha  Doing a loaf is the same thing, just a different form and takes about an hour.  

Here’s the recipe if you are hankering for something with blueberries now.  

You will need the following:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup white sugar (I’m sure you could use half stevia and half brown sugar if you want)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (I added this)

For the Crumb topping (optional)

• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners or grease a loaf pan.  I greased a loaf pan.

1. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. (To be honest, I put all the dry ingredients in the bowl and mixed with a fork.  Then I added everything else into the middle and mixed until combined.)  After it’s mixed well go ahead and fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups or loaf pan right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
2. To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins/loaf before baking.
3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.  If you’re baking a loaf, then about 1 hour.

We both loved this.  I will def make this again.
