Ingredients

Scale
  • For the muffins:
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the streusel topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • For the vanilla glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, mix milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  6. To make the streusel, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over each muffin.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled muffins and let set before serving.

Notes

  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized muffins.
  • For extra spice, add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter or streusel.
  • Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
