Mixed Berry Muffins with Blue Pixie Dust Streusel Topping

One of my favorite things to eat is muffins. Banana, Chocolate, Bran, or Berry, they are all my favorite. Fresh out of the oven and served warm. Mmmm. I'm drooling just thinking about it. So in honor of the new Disney Fairies movie, The Pirate Fairy special Walmart exclusive DVD, I made these fancy muffins. When you look at them they remind you of a big fluffy cupcake, when they are in fact a muffin bursting with fruit flavor and a yummy crunch top. It's just like the switcharoo that happens in The Pirate Fairy.

From the World of Peter Pan comes Disney’s The Pirate Fairy! The Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital HD copy is available for purchase at Walmart on April 1. As a free gift with purchase, you will also receive the Pixie Hollow Bake Off DVD which includes 10 animated shorts. The additional DVD is a Walmart exclusive.

Let's get baking! I wanted to make a blue pixie dust streusel topping to make these muffins special for my girls. In order for me to do that I needed blue brown sugar.
