It’s an exciting morning when these crumb muffins are coming out of the oven.
There’s one grocery store in Lakewood that sells the best muffins in their bakery department (and no, not all muffins are created equal). My kids always ask me to bring some home when I’m in that area. The older boys who eat breakfast in school after Shacharit particularly love taking them to school. Their favorite: the blueberry crumb.
But I’m not always on that side of town, so it came time for me to figure out a recipe of my own that they’d love just as much.
I love the blueberry version. But now this funfetti version is popular with the younger kids. So, blueberry or funfetti… it’s your choice!
Before we get comments like, “Can I make this with chocolate chips?” I’d say both “Why not?” and “I haven’t tried it.” If you want a great chocolate chip muffin, I recommend this recipe.
I used a more sugary streusel so the top gets crisp (finishing the baking at 400°F also helps achieve that).
