Notes
Since I have only made the recipe once, next time I would like to try applesauce in place of the white sugar and I would make these into smaller muffins cutting the calories per serving.
Still get that same great taste in smaller serving if you can control yourself. Me...hum, its the crumb topping that I like!
Hint I have recently read in recipes, use some brown sugar to sprinkle on top of the muffins it crystalizes and makes a crispy top.
Also if you dont have buttermilk you can use 1/2 milk or almond milk and 1 tsp. lemon juice.
Also if making small muffins I used 400 degrees for 15 minutes Large Muffins 375 for 25-30 minutes when toothpick inserted comes out clean. You know your oven so these are suggestions from my experience
