Streusel-topped Muffins

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 recipe Streusel Topping

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease twelve 2 1/2" muffin cups or line with paper bake cups; set aside. In a medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in center of mixture; set aside.
In another bowl combine beaten egg, milk, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir just until combined (batter should be lumpy).
Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full. Sprinkle Streusel Topping over muffin batter in cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden and a wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in muffin cups 5 minutes. Remove from pan; serve warm.

Streusel Topping
In a small bowl stir together 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour, 3 tbsp. packed brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon. Cut in 2 tbsp. butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 2 tbsp. chopped pecans or walnuts.


A warm muffin topped with cinnamon-y, crispy, nutty, sweet crunchiness? I'm grateful.
