Lawsuit Muffins

In the spirit of the berry season, here's the best blueberry or any kind of berry muffins ever. This recipe came from the Washington Post

Topping:

1 T. butter
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. chopped nut

Muffins:
2/3 c. vegetable oil
1 1/3 c. light brown sugar
1 T. lemon or orange zest
1 egg
1 c. buttermilk
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour (I use mostly whole wheat)
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 3/4 fruit (blueberries, diced apples, bananas, raspberries, dried cherries, strawberries & rhubarb…)

Preheat oven to 400 line 15 muffin cups with paper liners. Combine all ingredients for streusel.
In a large bowl whisk oil through vanilla. Do not over mix. Add dry ingredients and stir until combined. Light touch is best. Gently fold in the fruit. If the batter seems too runny add a little more flour- it will vary depending on the kind of fruit. Distribute batter evenly among muffin tins. Sprinkle with topping. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn oven to 350 and bake 10 minutes more. Tops of muffins should spring back when pressed lightly. Cool completely
