  5. In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for streusel. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.
  6. Fill muffin cups two-thirds full with batter.
  7. Sprinkle streusel mixture on top of each muffin, pressing slightly into the batter.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
