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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter pieces, mixing until you achieve coarse crumbs.
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the top of the muffin batter.
- Bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes. They’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
