I read a number of food related blogs (although I’m way behind) and a while back, I had bookmarked these muffins made by Ashley of Delish. I made them last week and James and I enjoyed them for breakfast for a number of days. I enjoyed the crumb topping; however, it became mushy (but still delicious) by the time we finished the last two muffins yesterday. So if you prefer a more crumbly crumb topping, eat them fast, which would so not be difficult to do.
