NTUC was having a promotion on blueberries and I bought 3 punnets of it. I was down to my last one plus I had some sour cream left from cheesecake baking so I decided to use them up by baking some yummy breakfast blueberry muffins. But plain old muffins sounded boring, so I added some crumble on top to make them mega sinful. And oh my they turned out so beautifully! Crunchy and crumbly on the outside with a moist and fluffy interior. Yummmeh!

Method for crumble topping:
