Preheat oven to 350°F, preferably using convection setting.

Prepare an 8x8 or 9x13 pan by lining it with parchment paper and spraying it with cooking spray.

In a bowl, combine 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups sugar, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt.

In another bowl, mix 0.5 cups buttermilk (or powdered buttermilk), 0.5 cups water, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Blend the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to aerate the batter too much.

Spread the thick batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Melt 1 cup of butter in the microwave and set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine 2.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1.25 cups granulated sugar, 0.5 cups firmly packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

Pour the melted butter over the dry crumb topping mixture and mix until crumbly.

Squeeze handfuls of the crumb mixture and place it evenly over the batter in the pan, pressing it down slightly.

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-40 minutes, checking at 25 minutes for doneness.
