Y’all know I love muffins. I’m always trying to think of new flavors because my kids only ask for chocolate chip and blueberry. This week I decided to turn my ever popular crumb cake into muffins. They were so good! And now crumb cake muffins are on my kids’ request list. 😋

I usually like to make jumbo muffins, but these really work best as regular sized muffins. And you can see in the pictures that even with a fairly small amount of batter, they will rise significantly. You could even go with less batter and stretch it to 18 muffins.
Happy Baking!
