These look so moist and that topping, that’s why I eat muffins!! Thanks for sharing at Saturday Dishes
The cinnamon crumb topping totally got my attention at first glance. These looks great for breakfast!
Thanks Theresa!
My kids love these. I have never made muffins from scratch but I do a lot of cakes and cookies. When I did the crumble I added 1 extra Tbsp of butter 1/8 tsp of allspice and 3Tbsp of granulated sugar. I also substituted cinnamon apple sauce and used just one Tbsp cinnamon in the batter. These are a new morning favorite at my house and my kids usually don’t like to try anything new. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Sondra I am so glad they were a hit!
