July in Michigan is prime blueberry-picking time! We love visiting a nearby blueberry patch with the family and picking as many as we can. This muffin recipe requires no eggs – and it works perfectly with fresh or frozen berries. The crumb topping adds a delicious crunch you’ll love.

I made these for the first time yesterday. I used almond milk. We have been recently trying a dairy free diet as my wife is lactose intolerant. Considering these muffins have no eggs, milk, or butter, they are great! My kids loved them so much they wanted them for a snack in the morning and afternoon. My second batch is in the oven this morning!
Thanks for the review! Since I’m dairy-free, they’re the best I can do. So many muffin recipe use huge amounts of butter or sour cream, and this is one that I could modify to fit my needs!
