Preparation

Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.

In a separate bowl, combine all liquid ingredients.

Using paper muffin cup liners, fill each cup until 1/2” from top. Crumble streusel topping over each.

Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for another 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and muffin springs back when pressed lightly with fingertip.
