Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup milk
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Streusel Topping:
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the softened butter and mix with a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter. Sprinkle a generous amount of the streusel topping over each muffin.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
