DIRECTIONS

1. In a bowl, combine the two sugars, the cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir in the flour. The crumb topping will be thick and crumbly. Set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray. Set aside. *See note about jumbo size muffins.

3. Beat the butter and both sugars together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 60 seconds increase high speed until the mixture is combined and uniform in texture. Scrape excess down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
