Notes
- The first time I made these cream cheese muffins I learned a lesson - you must use cupcake liners with this recipe. If you don't, your streusel topping sticks to the pan and it's almost impossible to get them out of the pan without totally destroying them.
- To get even sized muffins I love using this scoop for evenly sized muffins.
