Maple Streusel Muffin

Maple streusel muffin reminds me of morning breakfast pancake. Smoky maple syrup combine with crunchy walnuts and sweet cinnamon is something everyone in the house love to have for their breakfast. I love the hearty smell of maple syrup in the muffin and the brown sugar goes well in this sweet muffin. The crunchiness lend by the streusel topping is an icing on the cake
