Blueberry Crisp Cupcakes

"The first time I made these I found that for so many muffins there was not enough streusel topping for my liking, so I doubled the topping mixture the second time --- follow the directions for the muffins, add in the whites *after* the flour and mix for no more than 1 minute --- although I haven't tried it as yet, I imagine this would work using firm ripe finely chopped strawberries in place of blueberries, these are *very* good!"

  1. These are delicious. They are so light, and the streusel topping adds such a nice layer of flavor over the top. These were enjoyed by everybody who tried them. A definite make-again recipe!
     
  2. I have been wanting to make these for a long time. These were worth waiting for. I followed Kitten's detailed instructions and was rewarded with a fluffy beautiful blueberry cupcake/muffin. I took her advice and doubled the topping, but omitted the nuts because I was giving them out to friends and wasn't sure if they like nuts. I have to admit I increased the sugar to two cups. I love my baked goods on the sweet side. Follow these directions and you will be bake up beautiful better-than-bakery quality cupcakes/muffins. Excellent recipe as usual!!! Kitten's recipe's are ALWAYS great. I highly recommend this recipe.
