Mix all the ingredients together until they resemble coarse crumbs. Set aside.

Assemble and bake the muffins

1. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
2. Top each muffin with a generous amount of oat crumble topping.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and serve

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
