Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line one 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
Make the crumb topping: Combine all ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside until ready to use.
Make the filling: whisk together all ingredients until well combined. Set aside until ready to use.
Make the muffins: combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together oil, egg, and milk. Pour wet ingredient mixture over dry ingredient mixture and stir with big wooden spoon until just combined.
Add 1 1/2 tbsp of batter to each of the prepared muffin cups. Then, add one 3/4 to 1 tsp (depending on how much you like cinnamon!) of the cinnamon swirl filling to the center of the batter. Top with an additional 1 1/2 tbsp of batter.
Cover muffins with crumb topping, then bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool in pan for a few minutes before carefully removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
While they cool, whisk together the cream and powdered sugar to form a thick glaze. If too thick, add a bit more cream. If too thin, add more powdered sugar. Drizzle over top of cooled muffins.
