Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed (for crumb topping)
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for crumb topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon ripple by mixing the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together.

Step 6

Fill each muffin cup one-third of the way with the batter. Add about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon ripple mixture to the center of each cup, and then top with more batter until the cups are about three-quarters full, covering the cinnamon ripple.

Step 7

In another small bowl, make the crumb topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the muffins.

Step 9

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
