Gluten Free Vegan Blueberry Maple Muffins with a Streusel Topping

Gluten Free Vegan Blueberry Muffins with a Streusel Topping

Recipe by Gluten Free Baking By Rachelle (Rachelle Himmelman)

 This summer we picked a lot of fresh fruits for freezing, I don't like to purchase fruits I could other wise get for free and than I know exactly whats on them or where they came from.  Muffins of any variety are a favorite in our house, I like to have a muffin for breakfast or pack them in lunches.

Our daughter will get up at least two hours before school and sneak muffins into her room for breakfast as she is getting ready for school, uuuuhg! These Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins are a new found addiction for me, I just LOVE the maple and blueberry combination.  I asked my husband what  he would like for his lunches this week and he said, "How about those muffins" and there you have it muffins is what he got for this week.
