Love this recipe! I’ve made it twice. A hit with kids and adults. I doubled it with no problem. I only did one and a half on the topping because I think it makes a lot.
10/10!

The muffins were great! I Accidentally put in 1 cup of butter in the crumble icing Instead of 1/2 a cup .But they still turned out great.Giving them to my nephew tomorrow for his coffee break. Thank you for this easy and yummy recipe.
Delicious muffins! Depending on the size of the muffin pans/cups you may want to double the recipe.
Love these! Will be making them again in the future.
I just made these muffins this morning… they are delicious!!! Very easy to make perfect amount of sweetness and moist. Will be making then again!!!
These muffins are easy and terrific. I made them following the recipe exactly. I was going to skip the glaze, but I’m glad I didn’t. It made them even more scrumptious and appealing to the eye.
Oh my gosh I made and account just to post this comment ….. these were AMAZING!!! Seriously!!! The cake was fluffy and light , very good flavor, the crumble is delicious , if you’re not sure if you want to, definitely try these out!
Oh my goodness you are so kind Venessa. Thank you for coming back to leave a review!
These muffins look super delicious. Are they moist?
These muffins were absolutely amazing and a huge hit at the event I brought them to. Be sure to really push the crumble into the muffins, they can be kinda messy if not.
Critical bit of information. If not seems like a lot of topping.
Awesome muffins.
