Make the streusel
Combine all ingredients into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.
Make the muffins
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine.
In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla, mix to combine. Alternately add flour mixture and milk. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the blueberries. Do not overmix.

Chef Notes
Muffins freeze well. Simply wrap in plastic, place in a zip top freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month. To defrost, unwrap muffin, place on a microwave safe plate and cook on 50% power for 1-2 minutes.
