Coffee Cake Muffins

Golden Coffee Cake Muffins Fresh Out of the Oven

These Coffee Cake Muffins are tender, moist, and bursting with cinnamon streusel topping. They’re the perfect grab-and-go treat for breakfast or a sweet afternoon snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Streusel Topping:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup (½ stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Fill each muffin liner about two-thirds full with batter.
  7. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffins.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra touch, drizzle the cooled muffins with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
