Zucchini Muffins

When it comes to muffins there is one that stands above the rest. I know when you hear zucchini and muffin together you might question what that tastes like, but trust me it is divine! It is cinnamon, sugar, and zucchini at its finest. The streusel on top is the best part! My grandmother has made these muffins for as long as I can remember. She is one of the best cooks/bakers I know. The best days were the ones she would come over and surprise us with these muffins! I now get to make them for my kids and they always get excited when they see me making them. My Grandma Sally was kind enough to let us share her fantastic recipe with all of you. Thank you Grandma! I hope you and your family enjoy these as much as I do.

1 cup oil
2 cups sugar
