Homemade Best-Ever Blueberry Streusel Muffins Recipes

Gooooood morning… and happy Monday!! If you are like us, it’s the first day back from Spring Break and all you want is to time travel a week back in time. We were fortunate enough to get to spend spring break in California this year. Every time I visit California I question why I don’t live here. It’s SO beautiful. And the food is to die for. Like seriously a foodie’s dream. I can’t wait to share with you all of our favorite foodie finds from the trip.

And lucky for you the foodie finds probably won’t be stopping anytime soon because I am COMMITTED TO UC-BERKELEY for next year!! Ahhhh… it’s SO crazy saying/writing that. I can’t believe all the pieces of the puzzle have come together in perfect symmetry… I am so beyond grateful to get the opportunity to be spending the next 4 years of my life there. Lucky for me, not only is it an amazing school, but it is surrounded by AMAZING food! My mom said it was like a food mecca… but seriously she is so right. Every kind of food you could ever imagine. All within walking distance.

Until then we put a post together… You can see what we were doing and eating on Instagram!!

4. Bring blueberries and 1 teaspoon of the sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, mashing the berries with a spoon several times and stirring frequently, until the berries have broken down and the mixture is thickened about 6 minutes.
