My kids say the silliest things!  "I hope they serve muffins in Heaven!" my son blurted out as he took a bite of this delicious muffin.  Cinnamon streusel topped muffins, what could be more heavenly?!  This is a great recipe.  Worth the effort when you bite down on the crunchy topping and the moist inside!  This is a recipe I will definitely make again!
