Mom's Blueberry Cinnamon Muffins

These are blueberry muffins my mother often makes. It is a simple, trusted recipe she has been using for years now. She makes blueberry muffins for company or friends, for special occasions, or when we are looking for something a little different. This recipe is successful with either fresh or frozen blueberries, and we always purchase a big batch of blueberries each year to freeze and have on hand for these muffins and blueberry coffee cake. However, these muffins taste extra special during blueberry season when we are able to use fresh blueberries. For the first time ever, my mother decided to try something different with this recipe. She doubled the batch, and then sprinkled a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon on top of each muffin before baking. I didn't get to taste one warm from the oven, but a few hours the later the topping was still crisp and sweet. By the next day, the topping had softened into the muffin a bit, and was now moist and delicious. Either way, they were good, and an easy way to add a little something special to these favorite muffins. I don't think we will ever let her make them again without this special topping! It just goes to show that an old recipe can be improved upon, and changes can be welcomed, you just need to experiment a bit!
