Of course, that recipe has long since disappeared, but I think I&#8217;ve managed to come close to our original concept.<\/p>\n<p>There were some changes made to my basic\u00a0muffin recipe, since\u00a0I wanted\u00a0them to be rich (butter instead of oil), yet light and fluffy (cake flour instead of all-purpose). I also used tulip muffin liners because it gives you more room to PILE ON the streusel topping.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4380\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4380\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4380\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/d-covered-with-streusel-and-ready-to-bake.jpg?resize=300%2C200\" alt=\"Pile on the streusel!\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/d-covered-with-streusel-and-ready-to-bake.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/d-covered-with-streusel-and-ready-to-bake.jpg?resize=768%2C512 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/d-covered-with-streusel-and-ready-to-bake.jpg?resize=1024%2C683 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/d-covered-with-streusel-and-ready-to-bake.jpg?resize=450%2C300 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/d-covered-with-streusel-and-ready-to-bake.jpg?w=1168 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/d-covered-with-streusel-and-ready-to-bake.jpg?w=1752 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4380\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pile on the streusel!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There is cinnamon in the streusel, and a little in the muffins, but the important flavor &#8211; the flavor that makes these taste just like my favorite pie &#8211; is nutmeg.
