Blueberry muffins with crumb topping

Muffins that work are hard to find. When I find a recipe I can count on, I use it over and over again just varying the ingredients to suit what I have. I found a recipe from Enlightened Cooking that I tried and it was so great, I find I can hardly improve on it. But here it is my variation with some crumb toppings added and that made it extra special.

2 cups of flour I use 1 cup white or whole wheat and 1 cup barley flour

Barley flour makes everything so fluffy.

1 cup sugar I use brown natural sugar

1 1/2 t. baking powder

1 t. salt

1/2 t. soda

2 t. vanilla

3/4 cup milk or yogurt

1/4 cup oil or butter

1 egg beaten

2 cups fruit. in this case I used frozen blueberries

1/3 cup nuts, I used almonds

makes 12 muffins

oven 400

Combine dry ingredients, make a well in center, add wet ingredients that have been beaten together. Stir till just moist.

Fold in fruit and nuts.

Sprinkle with topping:

1/2 cup nuts

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup flour

2 T. butter

mix in processor until crumbs stick together just a bit.

Fill the muffin tins with muffin papers or oil and flour the tins. Fill each cup halfway with batter.

spread on top of each muffin just before baking.

push down a bit so as not to fall off when baking.

If you wanted to make this a sweet bread it would make one loaf.
