Cinnamon Streusel Muffins with Dulce de Leche

I love these muffins because they remind me a little of a cinnamon swirl coffee cake. They’re made with a soft and tender muffin batter that’s topped with crisp cinnamon streusel and then taken to another level with a generous filling of dulce de leche. Serve them with a strong black coffee and you’ve got yourself a fabulous addition to your weekend brunch spread.
