Delicious Cinnamon Streusel Muffins Recipe for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup milk (preferably whole milk)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup sugar (for topping)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    This ensures even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.

    Make sure there are no lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

    Whisk until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep muffins light.
  5. Prepare Streusel Topping

    In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, oats, and optional nuts. Sprinkle over the muffin batter.

    Ensure even distribution for a crunchy topping.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

    Leave room for rising.
  7. Bake Muffins

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check for doneness before removing.
  8. Cool and Serve

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

    Serve warm for best flavor.
