Here is the streusel recipe:

Combine 3 tbsp flour, 3 tbsp brown sugar, and ¼ tsp ground cinnamon. Cut in 2 tbsp butter until mixture resembles course mixture.  Sprinkle on top, before baking and enjoy.

I also like to use fruit in the muffins also, I use frozen blueberries and blackberries. Just add a little bit more sugar to counteract the tartness of the fruit. (2 tbsp extra sugar) The streusel topping is great on the fruit muffins!
