Triple Berry Buttermilk Muffins with Brown Sugar Streusel

Crunchy buttery cinnamon streusel really elevates these soft, fluffy muffins bursting with juicy berries. This was not a planned muffin date, I knew I needed to use up some berries I had, either use them or freeze them. I find that frozen berries doesn’t work as well. They will taste fine, but they sometimes don’t distribute evenly in the batter.

I also highly recommend using buttermillk, instead of regular milk. Cream would work, but something about the buttermilk makes them rise better.

Preheat oven to 400F
