Friday was my hubby’s birthday; so in honor of him, I am sharing these Cinnamon Crumb Muffins. He is a huge fan of pretty much anything baked with cinnamon in it. You probably already know that I have a slight muffin obsession and these babies are no exception!

They make a delectable treat anytime of day, so go on and bake yourself up a batch to share. Enjoy and happy baking!

    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.
