Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup melted butter, 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cut in 3 tablespoons cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter, then sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over each muffin.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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