The muffin itself was good, but we used a streusel recipe from another recipe, because there's no way to make a crumbly streusel out of melted buter. Maybe I'm missing something... Like I said though, the muffin itself was good. I used my 3oz. scoop and it made a dozen muffins.

These are wonderful, not overly sweet muffins. I got 11 good sized muffins with perfectly crunchy tops and light tender bottoms. The sugar could probably be cut down even. This recipe was perfect, I'm happy that it didn't include any funny ingredients. These are all things that are in the house all the time. Thank you!
