Ingredients
Muffin Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Crumble Topping Ingredients
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon for the crumble topping.
Baking
- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter, then generously sprinkle the crumble mixture on top.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients and do not overmix the batter. You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor or add chocolate chips for a sweeter touch.
