Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a regular size muffin tin with liners and set aside.

In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the topping, stir together the light brown sugar, cinnamon and flour. Pour in the melted butter and stir until crumbles form.
Sprinkle a spoonful of the crumbs onto the tops of the muffins.
Bake at 375 for about 30-35 minutes, until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then remove to continue cooling. Serve and enjoy! Muffins will store in a sealed container for about 3 days.
