Blueberry Coffee Cake Muffins With Oatmeal Crumb Topping

[ZarahDawn]

I take no credit for this recipe save for the fact it was my idea to put the 2 together. I'm always looking for ways to add fibre, vitamins & veggies to things & this was a good way to do that. Enjoy I know Hubby & I did. ( you might even sneak in half a finely shredded carrot) >:) The Crumb topping is from Recipezaar (I added the 1/2 stick or butter you can leave it out if you like I just liked the crumb topping consistancy better with it) & the muffin recipe is one from Ina Garten of Food Network.

Crumb Topping
Ingredients
1 1/2 sticks butter (cold; chopped)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup oatmeal (any type but instant)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix all ingredients except the butter. Add the chopped butter & blend with a fork, pastry blender or pop into a food processor until it resembles a coarse meal. Refridgerate.

Blueberry Coffee Cake Muffins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin tins by brushing the top with a smidge of oil so the muffins don't stick to it. Line with cupcake papers. Makes 16 large muffins.

Ingredients:
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 ounces (about 1 cup) sour cream
1/4 cup milk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 half-pints fresh blueberries, picked through for stems

Combine sugar & butter in a mixer & mix well til fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla, sour cream & milk & mix til blended. In a seperate bowl combine dry ingredients & sift. Scrape mixer bowl to make sure the butter mix in all combined. Add half the flour mix at a time. Mix ONLY until combined. Make sure the batter is all mixed but don't over do it or the muffins will be dense. Fold in blueberries. Using am ice cream scoop, scoop batter into prepared muffin tins lined with papers. Bake 25 to 30 mins or til cake tester comes out clean.
Very moist & yummmy (I know it has like 3 sticks of butter in the recipe, but you only get what ... maybe a 1 pat of butter if you eat 2 muffins?)
