PALEO BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

I somehow married a man that doesn't like blueberries AT ALL, and had two children that don't care for them either. The problem is that I really like blueberries, especially when they are in muffin form. The good news is my blueberry hating husband tried these and said "wow, these are really good", and then proceeded to eat two. If you are one of those people that does not care for blueberries, then you can substitute another berry such as strawberries or blackberries. I won't judge!
I prefer to use fresh blueberries, but if you want to use frozen blueberries you can, but don't defrost them! Add them directly to the batter frozen and they will warm up along with the rest of the batter.
This recipe has a crumb topping option for those of you who like to fancy-up your muffins, but the recipe tastes great with or without it. This recipe makes 6 blueberry muffins, so just double the recipe if you have a larger group or if you have a huge love for blueberry muffins!
