New York Crumb Cake Muffins with lots of crumb topping!
I love making New York Crumb Cake! It is such a good brunch food & makes for a yummy dessert. I finally decided to try making it in muffin form. Normally I would make it with cake flour but for the muffins all purpose flour worked just fine. I used a large cookie scoop to equally distribute the batter into the muffin cups, about 2.5 Tablespoons.
With the crumb topping, I gently pressed it down a little so it would stick better. Be careful to not over fill the muffin cups, I filled mine 1/2 way. I’ve made them several times & if I added too much batter the crumb topping would just fall off & onto the pan when it grows & bakes in the oven. Recipe made 10 muffins.
