Pour liquid ingredients all at once into flour mixture and stir just until combined.

Use a 3-ounce scoop to partially fill each muffin cup.
Carefully spoon 1/4 teaspoon blueberry danish filling into each cup.
Fold fresh blueberries into remaining muffin mixture then cover filling with remaining batter; top each muffin with a 1/2 teaspoon of streusel topping.
Bake in 375F preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Rotate pan and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until pick inserted in centre comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes before turning out to cool completely.
