  • ½ Cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbs cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 Cups flour
  • 1½ sticks butter (12 Tbs) – melted
  • Muffin Batter:
  • 3 Cups flour
  • 1 Cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbs baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1½ Cups buttermilk
  • ⅔ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • Glaze:
  • ½ powdered sugar

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray, or line with paper cupcake liners and set it aside.
  2. To make the crumble:
  3. In a medium bowl mix together both sugars, cinnamon salt and flour. Pour the melted butter into the bowl and mix with a fork until a crumble forms (see above). Set the crumble mixture aside.
  4. To make the muffin batter:
  5. In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients. Using a whisk, mix the dry ingredients well until combined.
  6. In a separate bowl mix together the buttermilk, oil and eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until incorporated. Do
  7. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until incorporated. Do NOT over mix.
  8. Fill your prepared pan or cupcake liners ¾ of the way full. Add a heaping tablespoon of crumble mixture to the top, gently pressing the mixture into the batter.
  9. Bake for 16 – 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. For the Glaze:
  11. Mix together the powdered sugar, 1 tsp of milk and vanilla. If the glaze is too thick add the remaining teaspoon of milk until you get the consistency you like. I like mine to resemble white school glue texture. Not too thin so it runs off the sides, but not overly thick so it globs on the top.
  12. Once the muffins have cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
