Blueberry Crisp Cupcakes


The first time i made these i found that for so many muffins there was not enough streusel topping for my liking, so i doubled the topping mixture the second time --- follow the directions for the muffins, add in the whites *after* the flour and mix for no more than 1 minute --- although i haven't tried it as yet, i imagine this would work using firm ripe finely chopped strawberries in place of blueberries, these are *very* good!!
