I quickly mixed up the crumble topping, and the dry ingredients. Then I go to mix up the wet ingredients. I only had 3 eggs, but no big deal as the recipe only calls for 2. Then this happened.
Now, I don't know about you but to me, this looks suspiciously like what happens to a baby's diaper when he goes swimming in it... just saying. I swear I let the melted butter cool before I added the eggs to it. But it still failed. So I was stuck with half mixed up muffin mix, some nasty gloopy egg crap, and only one egg left in my carton.
So I had to cover up my mixing bowls, put on some real pants (bummer) and run to the store for more eggs, because I REALLY wanted these muffins. Attempt two was successful because I made sure the melted butter was extra cool before adding eggs.

I was a little worried about the crumble stuff on top because it is essentially just chunks of butter covered in a little flour and sugar. I didn't know if it was going to be gross or not. But I was pleasantly surprised because the tops ended up being chewy/crispy and delicious. I will say though that because there is so much butter on top of these that the bottoms of my muffin cups were pretty greasy. And I would definitely put the cookie sheet under your muffin tin because the tops expand and can kind of get everywhere.
But, bottom line these were worth the unexpected trip to the store because they were delicious. Buttery, crispy, chewy, light, fluffy, allspicey, goodness. I will definitely be making them again.
P.S. When you use foil muffin cups, take them off before reheating your muffin in the microwave. Just a suggestion.
