Ingredients
Scale
- For the muffins:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the streusel topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- For the vanilla glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, mix milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
- To make the streusel, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over each muffin.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled muffins and let set before serving.
Notes
- Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized muffins.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter or streusel.
