Deliciously soft and fluffy muffins with a sweet cinnamon sugar swirl and crunchy streusel topping, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
  4. Prepare the streusel topping by mixing together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using).
  5. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, sprinkle in some streusel topping, then fill the cups to the top with more batter. Top with more streusel.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

These muffins can be served with whipped cream or cream cheese, and pair well with coffee or tea.
