minutesI needed to make a school treat for my daughter’s class for their Thanksgiving party. I found these and made them many times. These are delicious made as muffins with a streusel on top instead of the frosting. These are delicious and have great flavor with or without the frosting. I have included both a recipe for the streusel and for a frosting so you can choose how to serve these. Now the question: Muffin or Cupcake?
Streusel
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
