Description
These muffins feature a tender cake base topped with a buttery cinnamon streusel.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (for batter)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for topping)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the batter.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, softened butter, and cinnamon. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until coarse crumbs form.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the top of each muffin.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can add 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
