Coffee Cake Muffins

Coffee Cake Muffins combine a muffin base made from a mix of melted butter, avocado oil, sugars, eggs, buttermilk, flour, baking powder, corn starch, cinnamon, and salt with a crumbly cinnamon streusel topping. The streusel adds a crunchy sweetness contrasting the tender, moist muffin. The batter is gently mixed to keep the muffins soft and light. These muffins offer a sweet spice flavor with a soft texture and a crisp, sweet topping, suitable for breakfast or a snack.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
  2. Combine your melted butter and canola oil in a large bowl. Stir well.
  3. Add sugar and stir to combine.
  4. Add egg, egg white, and vanilla extract. Stir very well, until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.  Add buttermilk and stir.
  5. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, corn starch, cinnamon and salt.
  6. 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).
  7. 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
  1. Prepare your streusel by whisking together flour, sugars and cinnamon.
  2. Pour the melted butter into the mixture and, using a fork, stir until crumbles form. 
  3. Using your hands, evenly divide streusel over muffin batter, piling the streusel over the batter and gently pressing the topping into the batter.
  4. Bake on 375F for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Allow to cool before serving.
