Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line two standard muffin tins with paper liners.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
-
Beat the brown sugar and vegetable oil in the bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into the muffin cups. Distribute the topping evenly over the batter. Bake for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and let cool completely.
