Plum Muffins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour plus one tablespoon (for the plums)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F—grease or line 12 cups of a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Toss the fresh plum pieces in the extra tablespoon of flour in a small bowl.
- To make the streusel, combine the flour, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl to make the streusel. Stir the melted butter into the dry ingredients until a crumb forms. Set the streusel aside.
