I have made this several times and enjoyed it every time. One of the favorite variations was with the cappuccino chips, and a little bit of espresso powder in the batter. It was well loved by all who tried it. I used almonds in the streusel of that variation. I have also made it with extra cinnamon. I often made it on days when I knew I would have early morning guests, so we would have an easy warm comforting morning snack. I wonder how this would be flavored with some orange, with some cranberries added? And pecans on the top? Thank you for reminding me of this easy and awesome treat. Also thank you for providing us home bakers with such amazing resources and products. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
I think a cran-orange version would be lovely. Orange zest, or a tiny bit of orange oil, and dried cranberries; maybe back off on the cinnamon a bit and, as you say, pecans on top. YUM! :) PJH
