1 tsp Baking Powder 
½ tsp Salt 
1 tsp Cinnamon

2 Eggs 
1 c Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
2 tsp Vanilla Extract 

CINNAMON CRUMBLE INGREDIENTS:
1 ¼ cup Brown Sugar
4 Tbsp F+F Pumpkin Pie Spice Seasoning Blend 
4 Tbsp Butter, melted 
¼ c F+F Pumpkin Honey Butter


DIRECTIONS:	
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt & cinnamon in a large mixing bowl, whisking together so everything is evenly incorporated.

Sprinkle remaining sugar & spice mix on top.
