Make the California Walnut Streusel by combining all ingredient in small bowl. Using your fingers mix it around until its crumbly and set aside.
Fold half of the streusel mixture into the batter and stir to combine. Spoon ¼ cup of the batter into each cupcake mold. Sprinkle the top with a few teaspoons of the streusel. Bake for about 3035 minutes or until the cake is light and fluffy and a toothpick can be inserted into the center and is clean when removed. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.

NOTES
I like to bake the blueberry crumb cakes in muffin tins for easy individual servings but you could also bake it in a 9x9 baking pan for 5060 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted in the center and comes out clean.
