Coffee Cake Muffins Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Muffin:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 2 large eggs

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

For the Glaze:

  • ¼ cup confectioner’s sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp milk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Make the Crumble Topping:
    • In a medium bowl, mix both sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk in the melted butter until well combined.
    • Stir in the flour with a spatula until the mixture is combined. Spread the crumble mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to dry for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Mix Muffin Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, canola oil, and eggs until smooth.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Assemble the Muffins:
    • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
    • Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping over each muffin, gently pressing it into the batter.
  7. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Glaze:
    • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan on a wire rack. While they are cooling, mix the confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
    • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
