Mini-Bluebird Muffins

 KC Bearden made some scrumptious blueberry muffins for the Bluebird Trail Tour back in March. They were incredibily good because of the surprise in the middle.

Mini-Bluebird Muffins

Ingredients:
Use any blueberry muffin recipe or boxed blueberry muffin mix that contains canned blueberries or fresh blueberries.

1 additional pint of fresh blueberries is needed as well

Topping:
1/4 cup of oats
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of butter
1 Tablespoon flour
Shake of Cinnamon
Shake of Nutmeg

Grease the mini-muffin tin with cooking spray.

Mix the topping ingredients and set aside (feel free to add a bit more of any of the topping ingredients to suit your taste).

Mix the muffins as directed and fill each hole in the muffin tin 3/4ths full of batter.

Add 3 fresh blueberries to the center of each muffin and push them lightly into the batter.  Put a small clump of the topping on each muffin over the blueberries.

Bake as directed for your recipe.

Here is the special surprise:
The blueberries form a berry center in the middle and the topping also follows into the middle of the muffin. When you bite into the muffin, you find the sweet oat topping and fresh blueberries in the center of the muffin.

Totally delicious! This will delight, surprise and make your family and friends happy.
