Blueberry Almond Buttermilk Muffins

 Every time I buy buttermilk I only end up using about 1/4 cup, then I'm  left with a giant bottle that sits in the refrigerator going to waste.  This morning I did a little internet surfing and came across this great looking blueberry buttermilk muffin recipe.  I slightly adapted it by adding slivered almonds ( because I think they go great with blueberries and I love a little crunch) and sugar crystals to the top.  Other than that, I followed it exactly as written.  I found it on food.com by Dorel.  

They came out amazing, crunchy on the top and tender in the middle.  Great with my morning coffee.  

Now what to do with the rest of the buttermilk??
