Preheat your oven to 375°. Line 12 muffin tins with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl combine the cake mix, flour and baking powder, whisk to combine. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Stir until combined.
Scoop the batter into the lined muffins tins using a large cookie scoop {filling 3/4 full}. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with a tablespoon of crumb mixture and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with only a few crumbs {no raw batter}.
Cool in the tins for 5-7 minutes, then move to a wire rack. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for 4 days. Freeze muffins for up to 3 months.

Don't skip the step of lining the muffin pan with cupcake liners. Muffin liners allow you to easily remove the simple vanilla muffins from the pan and helps with easy cleanup.
Use room-temperature ingredients. Doing so allows you to easily mix the ingredients together and helps to give them a fluffy texture and moist crumbs.
Mix the ingredients by hand. It is important not to over mix muffins; mixing by hand allows you to control this much easier than using an electric mixer.
