Preparing the muffins:
Preheat oven to 400 F degrees. Line muffin tin with liners. Prepare streusel.

In a large bowl sift flour, baking soda, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl whisk together sugar, oil, vanilla, egg, and yogurt. Add the dry ingredients and stir to a count of 10.

Add blueberries to mixture and stir 3 times, being careful not to overmix.

Press 1 tablespoon of streusel into the bottom of the liner. Scoop the batter into the baking cups, leaving room for streusal. Sprinkle streusel on top of batter, gently pressing into batter.

Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the streusel has browned.

Cool in pan 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
