I love blueberry muffins and this recipe takes the best of my favorite recipe with some fresh strawberries added in for an extra fruity punch. The fruit is folded into the batter and the muffins are topped with an easy-to-make crunch-sweet topping. Enjoy them warm from the oven!

A few years ago I found a blueberry muffin recipe that I fell in love with and have been using ever since.  It’s called To Die For Blueberry muffins and was submitted by Colleen on allrecipes.com.  The muffin base is thick so that the berries don’t all fall to the bottom and I love the streusel topping.

I’ve been wanting to try the recipe with something other than blueberries.  I had some strawberries lying around and some blueberries, so I decided to make strawberry and blueberry muffins.  I love the color combination.  The muffins came out very yummy.

When I combined the fruit in a bowl, I loved the combination of colors.  It looked so beautiful!  It looked even prettier once in the batter.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to capture how pretty it looked due to my poor kitchen lighting.

Here is the recipe adopted by Colleen at allrecipes.com.  I’ve tried variations to the recipe based on comments and reviews on allrecipes, but I still prefer the original recipe.

Yields: 8-12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped to small cubes
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
  2. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place
    vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk
    to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries and strawberries. Fill
    muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
  3. To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4
    cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle
    over muffins before baking.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.


Normally I like to make the muffins over-sized.  I made them a bit smaller this time, so some of them were a bit flat.
