These surprised me. First because they use all-spice, the other spice, and it stands alone perfectly. Secondly because they were very good. I halved the recipe and substituted half of the flour with whole-wheat. I also used agave instead of brown sugar in the muffins. It worked. They were sweet and still light and fluffy.
These are topped with a streusel. Or pre-baking they were. The streusel melted into the muffins a bit, but it remained a nice crunch on top with each bite, which was another nice surprise. I think perhaps I over mixed the streusel.

The only downsize was that the muffins were a little too buttery for me. I would definitely reduce the butter content to make them less greasy.

Great muffins! I like how you used agave for the brown sugar. I have agave on hand and keep forgetting to use it.
