blueberry muffins


i received no less than 3 marriage proposals after i brought these blueberry muffins into work.  they are that good



line your muffin tins with cute liners
  

start by mixing flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt
  
  

add 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1 egg, and enough milk to bring it to the 1cup line
  
  


pour it into the dry ingredients and mix until combined
  
  
add 1cup fresh blueberries

  
  

gently fold them into the batter and set aside

for the topping combine flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon
  
  

mix with a fork - it will be nice and crumbly



spoon the batter into prepared muffin tins
  
  

sprinkle with the topping and stick them in the oven
  
  

they'll come out looking like this
  
  

let them cool

  
  
or just dive right in while they're still warm.
have a glass off cold milk nearby and thank me later

Method

Preheat oven to 400.  Line tins with muffin cups.

Combine flour, 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 until combined (do not overmix).

these are definitely something you'll want to keep in your arsenal.  the best feedback i've received so far (from a gentleman of course):
