Recipe: Blueberry Streusel Muffins

I had some blueberries that were almost getting to the point of no return that I wanted to use up.  I hate to waste any food and I didn't want to use them in a smoothie.  My oldest daughter LOVES blueberry muffins so I thought I would give her an extra special treat with these blueberry streusel muffins.
