Cinnamon Streusel Muffins
from Tiffany at eatathomecooks.com
Servings: 12 Muffins
Ingredients
For the streusel topping:
- ⅓ cup flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1½ tsp. cinnamon
- 1½ Tbs. butter
For the muffins:
- 2 cups flour
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 Tbs. baking powder
- 1 stick butter
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
For the streusel topping:
- Combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Add butter and crumble together with a fork or fingers to make fine crumbs, and set aside.
For the muffins:
- Stir the flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
- With an electric mixer, cream butter, and sugar.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, and milk and mix until well blended.
- Gently stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients with a spoon, just until combined.
- Spoon about half of the batter into the bottom of 12 greased muffin cups.
- Generously sprinkle more than half of the streusel topping onto each muffin. It will look like too much, but be generous with it.
- Dollop the remaining batter onto the top of each muffin. It may not be enough to cover the streusel, but the batter will spread out when baking.
- Sprinkle the remaining streusel on top of each muffin.
- Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
