Coffee Cake Muffin Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar. Add in melted butter, Greek yogurt and vanilla extract mixing until smooth.
Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Assembly
Begin to assemble the batter inside the lined muffin tin by scooping about 2 tablespoons of muffin batter into each muffin cavity. I like to use a small scoop, works easily if you have one!
Place a tablespoon of cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each, then top each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of muffin batter, filling the tin 3/4 of the way to the top. (You get 12 if large muffins if you use all the batter. If you use less, you could get 16 - 18 muffins and bake them accordingly, by decreasing the timer 5-10 minutes.)
Sprinkle muffins with crumb topping, using your fingertips to gently press the crumbs into the batter. Place into oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool down to room temperature in the pan prior to transferring them to a wire rack to glaze.
Drizzle a little glaze over warm or cooled muffins.
