Description
This recipe makes for a great quick-bread or muffin. This is also my new go-to crumble recipe. It hold it’s shape nicely throughout the entire bake. The batter is thick yet yields a moist dense crumb, just the way I like my muffins. The muffin itself is not too sweet which pairs nicely with the crumble. Feel free to substitute in other fruits.
