Coffee Cake Muffins
Description
The Coffee Cake Muffins recipe starts with a batter combining melted butter, avocado oil, granulated and brown sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. The wet ingredients are blended smoothly before gently folding in the dry components: all-purpose flour, baking powder, corn starch, cinnamon, and salt. The gentle mixing prevents developing too much gluten, maintaining a tender crumb.
Once portioned into lined muffin tins, the batter is topped evenly with a streusel mixture composed of flour, light brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter stirred until crumbly. This streusel bakes into a crisp, golden topping adding sweet cinnamon flavor and texture contrast.
The muffins bake at 375°F until the topping is golden and the interior is cooked through, producing moist, tender muffins with a noticeable sweet cinnamon crunch on top. They make a pleasant breakfast treat or snack with coffee or tea.
Gently fold dry ingredients into wet to avoid tough muffins.The streusel topping provides a crunchy texture and cinnamon sweetness.
Ingredients
Muffins
- ¼ cup butter melted
- ¼ cup avocado oil may substitute vegetable oil, or vegetable oil or canola oil
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar tightly packed
- 1 large egg room temperature preferred, + 1 egg white
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk room temperature preferred
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons corn starch (cornflour in UK)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
Streusel topping:
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 Tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
- Combine your melted butter and canola oil in a large bowl. Stir well.
- Add sugar and stir to combine.
- Add egg, egg white, and vanilla extract. Stir very well, until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Add buttermilk and stir.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, corn starch, cinnamon and salt.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet, taking care not to over-mix the batter (which will make your muffins dense and tougher).
- Evenly divide the batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about ⅔ of the way full. Set aside and prepare your streusel topping.
Streusel
- Prepare your streusel by whisking together flour, sugars and cinnamon.
- Pour the melted butter into the mixture and, using a fork, stir until crumbles form.
- Using your hands, evenly divide streusel over muffin batter, piling the streusel over the batter and gently pressing the topping into the batter.
- Bake on 375F for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool before serving.
