Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • â…“ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon for the muffin batter.
  3. Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add the buttermilk and whisk until combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
  7. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle a generous amount of the streusel topping over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. 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, you can drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the cooled muffins.
  • These muffins freeze well. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently before serving.
  • Ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature for the best batter consistency.
