Delicious and fluffy coffee cake muffins topped with a sweet streusel, perfect for breakfast or as a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (for streusel topping)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces (for streusel topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to distribute all the dry ingredients evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently, ensuring not to overmix; this helps keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  5. In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Spoon your muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full for optimal rising.
  7. Generously sprinkle the streusel topping over the muffin batter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Use room temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter.
