Know what’s better than a blueberry muffin?

Well… not much.

Except maybe a giant loaf of bread… that tastes like a blueberry muffin. It’s like a muffin times infinity.

Especially when you only tend to eat the muffin tops, and your loaf of bread tastes like one massive muffin top. Huge win.

Even though it’s like 60 thousand degrees outside, it’s totally okay to turn on your oven for one humongous muffin. It’s ideal for breakfast, for an after-pool snack, and as excellent nourishment while self-medicating yourself during a Girls-a-thon. Thank you very much, HBO.

Although I have no idea what any of that is like.

I also definitely did not consume two slices of blueberry muffin bread at one in the morning during an intense viewing of Crazy Stupid Love. For the 32nd time.

Ryan Gosling… WHAT.

In a large bowl, whisk egg and sugar together until smooth. Whisk in vanilla extract, then add in milk and mix until combined. Add in dry ingredients slowing, mixing with a spoon until batter comes together. Add in melted butter and mix until incorporated, then stir in blueberries.

Mix together the streusel ingredients, bring it all together with your hands. Sprinkle over the bread evenly. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until bread is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm with butter!
