Description

Grandma’s Coffee Cake Muffins are a delightful treat combining a moist, tender crumb with a sweet and crunchy cinnamon streusel topping. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy snack alongside your favorite cup of coffee, these muffins blend classic flavors and textures for a comforting homemade baked good.

Ingredients

Muffin Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk

Streusel Topping

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and fully blended.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  7. Add Streusel Topping: Sprinkle a generous amount of the prepared streusel topping evenly over each muffin cup.
  8. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops turn golden brown.
  9. Cool Muffins: Remove the tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for the streusel to achieve a crumbly topping.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to maintain a tender muffin texture.
  • For added texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts or blueberries to the batter.
  • Paper liners make for easy cleanup and prevent sticking but lightly greasing the tin works as well.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
