Mixed Berry Streusel Muffins

Filled with delicious summer fruit, these mixed berry streusel muffins have a crumbly topping of streusel. They make a tasty treat for breakfast, as well as great for lunch boxes, picnics and summer party food.

I used a mixture of blueberries and raspberries but you can swap and use your favourite berry combination. You can use fresh or frozen fruit.

2 teaspoons baking powder

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5/190⁰C and grease or line a muffin tray with paper cases.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.

Beat in the eggs.
Add the vanilla extract, baking powder and salt.

Add half of the flour and milk alternatively and gently mix. Add the remaining flour and milk and gently mix again till just combined.
Stir in the fresh or frozen berries.

Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin cases. I used an ice-cream scoop which worked well.
To make the streusel topping, cut the butter into small pieces and mix it with the flour, sugar and cinnamon. It should be a crumbly texture.

Sprinkle the topping over the muffins.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes until lightly golden. Leave the muffins in the muffin tray for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool further.

Hope you enjoy these mixed berry streusel muffins!
