TO DIE FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
These muffins are extra large and yummy with the sugary-cinnamon crumb topping. I usually double the recipe and fill the muffin cups just to the top edge for a wonderful extra-generously-sized deli style muffin. Add extra blueberries too, if you want!

My boss had so many raspberries that she did not know what to do with them. She found this recipe and used them instead of the blueberries. They are wonderful. You only need 1/2 of the topping for one recipe. I hope that you enjoy them!
