Coffee Cake Muffins
Description
The Coffee Cake Muffins recipe centers on oat flour and protein powder for structure and nutrition, sweetened lightly with coconut sugar and seasoned with cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg. The method uses a two-layer batter application separated by streusel topping, providing a crisp crumb texture atop soft muffins. The batter contains Greek yogurt and almond milk to keep it moist without dense heaviness. Baking at 350 degrees yields muffins with a tender crumb and a spiced, crunchy streusel finish. This layered method enhances the streusel presence on both the top and within the muffin.
These muffins suit a morning or afternoon snack and pair well with coffee or tea, offering a touch of sweetness without excess sugar. They can accommodate dietary preferences through flour choices such as gluten-free or white whole wheat oat flour.
