BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH STREUSEL TOPPING

January 27, 2021 by Sarah Baade 2 Comments

Muffin Memories

Blueberry muffins with streusel topping always seemed so fancy to me as a kid. What in the world was that magical topping? Why didn’t we get this topping on the muffins we made from a box mix? I recall blueberry muffins being something we ate on special occasions, like on Christmas morning. Always made from a box mix. And I loved them. In short, those muffins were something special and yet I still longed for that streusel topping. Friends, this was the 80’s and streusel seemed fancy. Today, you can get a box mix that includes a streusel topping and I will never judge you for making those. I get it. Busy lives need simple solutions. But I promise you, the homemade version is also very doable.

That Homemade Touch

Now that I’m an adult and the primary cook in the household, I find little ways to treat myself. One of the ways I treat myself is with homemade muffins. Yes, I still make a boxed mix on occasion but homemade always tastes better and don’t actually take much longer to make. I use frozen blueberries because they aren’t as delicate as fresh and don’t streak juice throughout the muffins. As for that *magical* streusel topping? Turns out it is quite easy to make! In fact, I might never make another muffin recipe without it. There is something about that crunchy, sweet topping that I can’t resist. With blueberry muffins being such a strong memory of childhood, I knew I needed to start here. Classic blueberry muffins with streusel topping. These make you feel like you’re eating something from your favorite corner bakery without actually having to leave the house.

POMEGRANATE BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE

Pomegranate Blueberry Smoothie - Slice Of Honey Blog

I went, I ate, and I ate some more. I swear I tried to take small portions so as to have room to try every side dish. I didn’t succeed. The problem (truly the ONLY problem) with spending Thanksgiving with friends who love to cook is that you can’t possibly eat as much as you would like to. Every single dish was delicious. I walked away with a happy heart, a full belly, and arms full of leftovers to take home. Now that our leftovers are dwindling, I need a break from the comfort food. Did I really just say that?!? I love those traditional holiday dishes but moderation is a must.

In order to give my body a day or two of recovery, I’m trying to keep things lighter and healthier. I’m also embracing pomegranate season for this delicious smoothie.  Pomegranate has become one of my favorite smoothie ingredients. Part of the allure could be that fresh pomegranates are hard to come by through most of the year – you want what you can’t have. But I actually really do love the flavor and find that they add a natural sweetness without the tartness that some other fruits can bring to a smoothie.

Tips:

  • You can portion out the fruit and spinach ahead of time, place them in a bag in the freezer. When you’re ready to make your smoothie, empty the contents of the bag into your blender and add the almond milk, flax seed and chia seeds.
  • See video below for my method of removing seeds from pomegranate.
