Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened (for crumble)
• 0.33 cup brown sugar (for crumble)
• 0.33 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumble)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.

Step 5

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

Step 6

To make the crumble topping, use a fork (or your fingers) to mix the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse sand.

Step 7

Sprinkle a generous amount of the crumble mixture evenly over the top of each muffin.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite cup of coffee or tea!
