Hi everyone! I’m Jen from Savory Simple. I’ve been a huge fan of Love From The Oven from quite some time so I’m truly honored to be guest posting for Christi today.
I have always loved to bake. I love cooking as well but there’s something very relaxing and almost zen-like to me about the methodical process baking. Especially with muffins. When people are scared to try baking I always recommend that they start with muffins. The process couldn’t be more simple- combine the dry ingredients, combine the wet ingredients. Mix those two bowls together. Spoon into a greased muffin pan and bake. No stand mixers or fancy technique. I find the entire experience calming to the point that when times are tough I’ll often bake muffins to de-stress (as I did with these Sandy Apple Muffins when we were threatened by Hurricane Sandy).
This blueberry buttermilk streusel muffin recipe is very easy to prepare, even with the addition of streusel topping. The streusel adds just the right amount of crunch and texture to each bite. I love having these for breakfast or as a midday snack. Enjoy them! And please stop by my blog and say hello! You can also find me spending way too much time on Facebook and Twitter.
