  • In a separate, medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and mix well so everything is evenly distributed. Add to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
    2 c all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon cinnamon

  • Fill the cupcake liners in the muffin tin about ¾ full with the batter. Sprinkle the oat crumble topping on top of the batter. Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick entered in the center comes out clean.

For the Oat Crumble Topping:

  • In a small bowl, add the oats, softened unsalted butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use a fork to work the butter into the mixture and get everything well combined. Once it's completely mixed, you can sprinkle the topping on your muffins before baking them!
