Notes
Optional Streusel Method:
If you want your muffins to really look like coffee cake, take 1/2 of the streusel mixture and put it in the middle of the muffin batter.
Put 1/2 of the muffin batter into the muffin tin cups. Then sprinkle each muffin with the streusel mixture. Add the second layer of muffin batter. Then top the muffins with the remaining streusel.
