  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Divide the batter among the three prepared muffin cavities.
  • Top each with the streusel mixture. Press it lightly into the batter.
  • Fill the rest of the cavities of the muffin tin halfway up with water.
  • Bake the muffins or 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the muffins from the pan and cool on a wire rack for another five minutes before serving.
