Blueberry Muffins

Recently tried a recipe for homemade blueberry muffins to make and take to church - our small groups switch off and provide breakfast on Sunday mornings - it was our small groups turn this past Sunday! And of course I wait until 11:30PM Saturday night - after getting home late from watching fireworks with a good friend and her adorable 2 1/2 year old -  to finally decide what to make. Not the best plan - definitely required a nap the next afternoon! :)

The only thing about this recipe I think is the crumble on top - I am not sure how I feel about cinnamon on top of my blueberry muffins. I want a sugary, crunchy crumble but without the cinnamon. Next time!

And of course they disappeared too fast to snap a picture! :(
