Streusel topping

A streusel topping is a crumbly mixture typically used as a topping for baked goods such as pies, muffins, coffee cakes, and fruit crisps. It adds a delightful texture and flavor contrast to the dish.

Streusel is made by combining flour, sugar, and butter, along with optional ingredients such as spices, oats, nuts, or citrus zest, until the mixture becomes crumbly. This mixture is then sprinkled over the top of the dessert before baking, where it forms a crunchy and golden-brown layer as it cooks.

Streusel toppings can vary in texture and flavor depending on the ingredients used, but they generally provide a deliciously sweet and buttery complement to the dessert they adorn.

Muffins:

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup butter softened
