On Blueberry Hill...

I found this recipe online when I Googled "best blueberry muffins".  I didn't have fresh blueberries but there were some organic wild blueberries in my freezer. I defrosted them, drained most of their juice and used them in place of the fresh blueberries. I also thought the crumb topping was adding too much extra sugar and butter to a recipe that already had plenty of both to start with. For the crumb topping, I reduced the measurements to 1/8 cup of flour, a little more than 1/8 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. I have to say, they were pretty to die for.
