There is nothing better than waking up to a freshly baked batch of blueberry streusel muffins.  The moist cake like muffin coupled with the sugary sandy topping is like heaven in each bite.  You can use either frozen or fresh blueberries for this recipe, just make sure to coat them in flour before adding them to the batter.  This trick will help suspend the blueberries in the muffin rather than have them sink to the bottom.

Sprinkle topping over each muffin. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until muffins are browned and firm.
Make glaze by mixing powdered sugar and lemon juice. Use a teaspoon to drizzle glaze over warm muffins. Serve immediately.
