Peach Blueberry Streusel Muffins

I have been blogging over 9 months and I have yet to introduce any recipes using my favorite food item – fresh, local, peaches.  The key word is local – since peaches are pretty much inedible otherwise.  So I have to wait all year until the end of July/beginning of August rolls around and I can finally indulge in the tastiest fruit on the planet!  So now that peach season is in full swing – I have been enjoying them in my yogurt every morning for breakfast and I have begun using them in as many recipes as possible.  So every Friday until I run out of time and peach season is over – I am going to share a new recipe using my favorite ingredient. 

First up, are these peach blueberry streusel muffins.  Wow – they were delicious and so easy to whip up.  I love muffins with a streusel topping and peaches and blueberries go really well together!  Enjoy!
