I agree that this is a good base recipe for many varieties of muffins. My initial thought after I tried them the first time was that they were a little too sweet for my taste. However, my husband and kids loved them! I would adjust the topping mixture. It needs to be cut in half. Also, using brown sugar for the topping tastes much better. For those who said to use buttermilk, remember that baking is like chemistry and if you add buttermilk you also have to add baking SODA in order for the muffins to come out right.
