Default HELP! Need to adjust recipe to include frozen blueberries!!

I have a wonderful cinnamon streusel muffin recipe! I would like to add frozen blueberries to the mix. I am wondering what adjustments to make in order to add these. The streusel is not a topping, but is gently folded into mix before baking. The recipe is a basic buttermilk sugar egg flour baking powder muffin mix with basic butter flour cinnamon and sugar streusel. Maybe i'd add more flour.....a bit of lemon juice....???? I'd like some professional advice PLEASE!!!!!

much love many thanks!!!

I'm not sure I understand the problem.
I've used frozen blueberries in basic muffin recipes without adjustment.
If you are concerned about the moisture content, thaw them.

Consider trying frozen wild blueberries. They are smaller than the cultivated berries and more intensly flavored.

Thanks Jock. I used frozen blues that i picked this summer. I'll have to keep lookout for the frozen wilds. I needed to toss my blues in flour before i mixed them in, but the muffins turned out wonderfully anyway;baked up with no recipe adjustments.
