I love blueberry muffins and I have been thinking about baking muffins with an actual muffin top since I read The Homemade Kitchen by Alana Chernila. She talks about overfilling her muffin tins so the muffin top really pops out.

I knew I had to experiment with overfilling my muffin tins so I could get that delicious muffin top normally only found in a bakery. The trick with these blueberry muffins is to bake them longer and to place a cookie sheet underneath your muffin pan, or you will end up with a big mess.
