Notes
For mini muffins: spray the mini muffin pan with non-stick spray. Batter will make 32-36 mini muffins. Bake time: 16-18 minutes at 375F.
The optional butter added to the streusel helps make it more "sticky". I have made the streusel both ways and always enjoy it, but with the butter added it does help it be a little less messy. :)
