Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

I cannot even begin to describe how these muffins taste fresh out of the oven...they made me want to sit in a corner with a book, and just keep eating. Unfortunately, I was unable do that (sad, I know) because nowadays I barely have time to bake, let alone read a book (that isn't a textbook). For some reason, the picture didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped and definitely doesn't do these muffins justice. So, if you really want to see how these looked, you're just gonna have to make em' for yourself. 

Let me know if you end up trying this recipe and how it was (hopefully you'll love it as much as I did). I LOVE to read your thoughts and suggestions!
