Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line muffin tray with muffin liners. Using two medium sized bowls place the egg and sugar in one bowl and all the dry ingredients in another bowl.
Mix the egg and sugar in a medium sized bowl. In another bowl combine and mix all the dry ingredients, except blueberries.
Add remaining wet ingredients to the egg and sugar and mix. Incorporate the dry ingredients in to the wet ingredients, except blueberries.
It's time to make the streusel topping. In a small bowl mix the ingredients of the topping together except the butter. Soften the butter and incorporate it into the dry ingredients until it clumps up easily. Use your hands or a fork.
Reserve about ¼ cup of the blueberries for later. Fold the remaining blueberries into the muffin batter, using a spatula, just enough to incorporate. Do not over mix otherwise your batter will turn blue. Evenly scoop the batter into the muffin liners.
Using a spoon scoop the streusel mixture on top of each muffin. Repeat until all the muffins have been topped with the mixture. Top with reserved blueberries.
For small muffins, bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out fairly dry. For large muffins, bake for about 25 to 27 minutes.Do not over cook. Remove from oven and let cool for about 15 minutes.
