Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
Cream together butter and sugar/Splenda in electric mixer bowl until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes ~ it will change texture). Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients on low, mixing just until combined.. Fold in the chocolate chips. Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan.
In small bowl, mix together brown sugar/Splendas, cinnamon, flour, and melted butter. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over the batter and spread over the top with the back of a small spoon.
Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on rack about 5-10 minutes before cutting.
