Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

These cinnamon streusel muffins are so perfectly tender with just the right amount of cinnamon and a crumbly buttery topping. Delicious with a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top or with a pat of salted butter. Just like a crumb / coffee cake but in mini form!

Servings: 9 muffins

Ingredients

For the muffin batter:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour (256g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (112g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs room temp
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temp (112g)
  • ¾ cup whole milk (150ml)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the streusel topping:

  • ½ cup all purpose flour (64g)
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar (48g)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (56g) melted
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉.
  • In your mixer or with your hand-held mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy on medium speed - 2 or 3 minutes.
  • To the same bowl on medium-low speed, beat in the eggs one at a time, then the milk, and finally the vanilla extract, until all combined.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon - give it a little mix with a fork or spoon. Then on low speed (so it doesn't poof out everywhere), gradually add the dry into the wet mixture until just combined.
  • Grease and line 9 spaces in your muffin tin and pour the batter evenly in them (about ½ cup in each).
  • To make the streusel topping:In a small bowl (can be the same as you used to mix the dry ingredients) add the melted butter, flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until combined - it'll be a sandy-like texture that sticks together when you clump some together. Sprinkle evenly across all the 9 muffins, clumping some together as you go.
  • Bake the muffins in a preheated 350℉ oven for about 18-22 minutes until golden and a tester comes out clean.
