COOKING STEPS

Step 1
In a large bowl mix brown sugar, white sugar, oil, egg, vanilla and buttermilk with a spoon.  Add remaining ingredients and stir until well mixed. If using walnuts fold them into batter. 

Step 2
In a separate bowl mix together ingredients for topping.  It should be crumbly. Spray muffin tin.  Fill muffin tins until almost full, then sprinkle topping on the filling.  

Step 3
The muffins do not rise up a lot and are so moist.  You can use muffin liners if you like. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Makes about 18 muffins.

⭐TIP

You can always use a buttermilk substitute if you don’t have buttermilk, but please know it WILL change the fat content of the recipe. Buttermilk has more fat in it than regular milk.

STORING, REHEATING & SERVING SIZE

We store these in an airtight container in a cool place. If you made these during the summer where there is high humidity you may want to refrigerate them. We reheat in the microwave and this makes about 18 muffins.
