Ingredients

For the Muffins

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 115 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 120 ml whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Streusel Topping

  • 65 g all-purpose flour
  • 100 g brown sugar, packed
  • 60 g unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter pieces and mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until you achieve a crumbly texture.
  • Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  • Evenly sprinkle the streusel mixture over the top of each muffin.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with icing for extra sweetness, and pair with coffee or tea.
