Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups Flour
- ½ cup Granulated sugar
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 115 g Butter melted

Streusel topping:
- ¾ cup Flour
- ¼ cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 60 g Butter melted
Simple glaze:
- 1 cup Powder sugar
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon Milk
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- Into a big mixing bowl, add the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, greek yogurt, buttermilk, kosher salt, and cooled melted butter. Mix with a whisk until the mixture is well combined.
- Into a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix until just combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a whisk until just combined. Don’t overmix the batter!
- Make the cinnamon sugar: mix cinnamon and sugar in a small mixing bowl until well combined.
Make the streusel topping:
- Into a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix with a spoon until the mixture is well combined.
- Scoop the batter halfway through with an ice cream scooper, and top with about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar. Scoop the second half of the mixture onto the cinnamon sugar topping.
- Top the muffins with about 1 tablespoon of the streusel topping and press the streusel topping onto the muffin batter so it sticks and does not fall off while baking.
- Bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Don’t overbake these muffins! Let the muffins cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Make a simple glaze:
- Into a small mixing bowl, add the powder sugar, milk, and vanilla. Mix with a spoon until the mixture is well combined and until the glaze is smooth and silky.
- Top each muffin with as much glaze that you would like, and serve warm next to a cup of coffee or hot tea. Enjoy!
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and milk. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have moist muffins and not dense and dry muffins
Mesure you flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
Push the streusel topping onto the muffins lightly so they would stick to the muffin top while baking and not fall off.
Add some of your favorite add-ins! Make this recipe your own and add your favorite muffins add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, chocolate chunks, banana slices, chopped fruit, and more! Be creative!
Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat these muffins as they are pulled out of the oven, but let these muffins cool for at least 15 minutes so they will be more firm and won’t crumble up. These muffins are extra moist and melt in your mouth delicious, so it will be worth it to wait these 15 minutes.
