Forgo the but­ter with these olive oil muffins. Mild-inten­sity EVOO is per­fect for baked goods, impart­ing crumb, fla­vor, and mois­ture. Olive oil plays a dou­ble roll in this recipe, not only used in the blue­berry muf­fin bat­ter but also in the brown sugar streusel top­ping. 

Using extra vir­gin olive oil in baked goods removes much of the guilt asso­ci­ated with these sweeter treats. Substituting EVOO in place of but­ter cuts down on sat­u­rated fats and bad cho­les­terol in your bak­ing. Olive oil is con­sid­ered a good fat, con­tribut­ing antiox­i­dants and vit­a­mins and, when part­nered with other super­foods (like blue­ber­ries), gives an even greater nutri­tional boost.

Double the blue­ber­ries mean dou­ble the fla­vor. Both fresh blue­ber­ries (you can also use frozen blue­ber­ries) and blue­berry jam are added to the bat­ter insur­ing that each bite is chock­full of very berry fla­vor. The streusel top­ping adds a lovely, slightly crisp, crumb to these muffins, mak­ing them much more ele­vated than the aver­age.
