Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Pitted dates (chopped)
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
• 0.33 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.25 cups Light brown sugar (for streusel)
• 0.25 teaspoons 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 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped dates to coat them lightly with the flour mixture. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing 0.5 cups of flour, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold cubed butter. Use a fork or your fingers to mash the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Divide the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Date Muffins with Streusel Topping!
