MAKE THE CRUMBLE:

Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling them about 2/3 the way full. Sprinkle each muffin with the crumb mixture. Using the 1/4 cup of the blueberries you have leftover, press a few of them into the tops of each muffin.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool for 5-10 minutes before enjoying!
