Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar (for topping)
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the butterscotch chips gently with a spatula.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

To prepare the topping, combine the light brown sugar and all-purpose flour in a small bowl. Add the cubed cold butter and cut it into the mixture using a fork or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 9

Sprinkle the brown sugar topping evenly over the muffin batter.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 11

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
