He says these are the perfect muffins with his coffee and he always asks me to make this recipe!

There’s just something special about the texture and flavor of a crumb topping.
It adds so much flavor to the muffins and also makes them oh-so-pretty.
For our snickerdoodle muffin crumble, you’ll need the following ingredients.
- โ cup granulated sugar
- โ cup all-purpose flour

Know what’s incredible about our snickerdoodle muffins? Part of that crumble actually goes right into the batter, and the rest is reserved for the tops of the muffins.
Brilliant!
Of course, you’re going to need a great muffin tin. This one is my absolute fave!
These muffins are perfect any time of the year, but, they do make a special treat during the holidays.
