Equipment
Ingredients
Muffins
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk 2% or whole
- 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
Cinnamon Streusel
- 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1/8 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line muffin tins with liners or spray with oil.
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together well in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the milk, oil, eggs, and almond extract in a separate bowl.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently, until just combined.
- Scoop batter into muffin tins, filling about halfway.
- Combine flour, brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Stir well with a fork. Add the melted butter and continue stirring with the fork, forming a crumbly mixture.
- Divide streusel mixture evenly over each muffin, about 1 Tablespoon per muffin.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean).
- Remove and let cool on a cooling rack. Enjoy!
Notes
- Mix the batter until just combined. Overmixing can cause muffins to be dense.
- Fill muffin tins about half full. These muffins rise quite a bit in the oven.
- Substitute vanilla extract for the almond to change up with flavors.
- Leave your streusel in larger crumbles for crunchier bits on the muffin tops!
