Nutmeg Streusel Muffins

These are what I would call a coffee house muffin. You know, the kind you can buy at your favorite coffee shop. They are good, but not the type of muffin you would serve with a meal.

We had them with coffee on a Sunday afternoon and everyone enjoyed them warm from the oven. 

Remember one of the things with muffins is to not over mix them. They will have a few lumps in the batter, mix just until the dry ingredients are all moistened. Over mixing cause tunnels and they do not rise as nicely.
