Ingredients

muffins

streusel

Instructions

  • Place rack in center of the oven then preheat to 375 degrees. Coat a standard-size muffin tin with cooking spray then set aside.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl then set aside.
  • In a separate, smaller mixing bowl, whisk together egg, milk, vanilla and melted butter. Add wet ingredients to the bowl containing the dry ingredients then mix until just combined.
  • Mix streusel ingredients in a small bowl using a fork to mash the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon together with the butter until combined but still crumbly.
  • Add ½ tsp of the streusel mixture to the bottom of each muffin cup. Pour enough muffin batter over the streusel to fill each cup a little less than half full. Add an additional ½ tsp streusel mixture over the batter then finish by filling each cup with remaining muffin batter.
  • Use a toothpick or butter knife to lightly swirl the batter and distribute the streusel through the center of the muffin. Sprinkle all remaining streusel over the top of the muffins.
  • Bake 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Cool muffins for 5 minutes then remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These babies taste great on their own, but a dab of butter, honey or jam will also kick it up a notch!
