Add the egg mixture to the flour/berry mixture, mix gently with a wooden spoon JUST until combined (mixture is supposed to have lumps, and NOT be smooth, DO NOT OVERMIX!).
8
Spoon batter evenly into each muffin tin.

Sprinkle with streusel topping.

**NOTE** This can be made using frozen blueberries, but will take longer to bake, also to double the recipe, prepare in two seperate mixing bowls adding the same ingredients to each, do not double the recipe and make in one bowl!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
