Print Recipe

Deliciously fluffy muffins topped with a sweet, crumbly streusel, perfect for breakfast or 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
  • For the streusel topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
  5. In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add in the cold butter pieces and work with your fingers or a pastry cutter until you achieve coarse crumbs.
  6. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  7. Generously sprinkle the streusel mixture over the muffin batter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm with butter or honey. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months.
