Host An Unforgettable Book Club Party

I made these muffins for our Easter campout and they were a huge hit.  This recipe is from the book How to Bake a Perfect Life.  The recipe includes a streusel topping, but after adding all the healthy ingredients, I could not bring myself to add the topping.  I did not miss it!
