Jazzed-Up Box Muffins

Blueberry deliciousness

For the times when you want an economical, easy, home-baked breakfast

I like Krusteaz Wild Blueberry Muffins, about $3.50 for a box – 11 muffin yield.  Jazz these up with these 3 tricks:

1. Toss out the canned blueberries that come with the box and substitute a package (or 1 cup) of fresh or frozen blueberries.
2.  Line cupcake tins with fabulous cupcake liners.  You can find these in the baking aisle for the same price as the pastel cupcake liners we all know and love.  ($0.99 at my Kroger)
3.  Add a crumble topping:

•        1 cup all-purpose flour
•        3 TBS brown sugar
•        2 TBS granulated sugar
•        1 tsp baking powder
•        Pinch of salt
•        6 TBS butter, melted.

Lightly mix ingredients in a bowl until you have achieved pea-size crumbles.  Top muffins before they are put in oven and bake according to box directions.
