Easy and Moist Coffee Cake Muffins

These delicious bakery-style Coffee Cake Muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack! The cinnamon crumb topping is just the right amount of sweetness, and the muffin itself is moist, delicious, and easy to make!

Ingredients

For the crumb topping:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour, 120g
  • ½ cup brown sugar, 107g
  • ¼ cup sugar, 50g
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup butter, unsalted, cold, diced small.

For the muffins:

  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour, 300g
  • 1 cup brown sugar, 218g
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze:

  • ½ cup confectioners sugar, 56g
  • 1 tbsp cream

Instructions
 

  • Make the crumb topping. In a small bowl combine the 1 cup flour, 1/2 brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 -1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  • Use a pastry cutter to cut in the ½ cup butter or pinch the butter into the mixture with your fingers gently until small clumps are formed no larger than the size of a pea. Place in the fridge while you make the cake.
  • Preheat the oven to 425° F and line a 12 cup muffin tip with muffin liners.
  • In a large bowl combine the 2 ½ cups flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, and ½ tsp kosher salt and mix to combine.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the 4 eggs, and 1 cup oil and mix to combine. Add the ¼ cup buttermilk and 1 tsp vanilla and mix again.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix only until combined. Do not over mix. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  • Using a 3 tbsp ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into the muffin tin ¾ of the way full. Top with crumb topping. It’s ok if the crumb topping is overflowing a bit.
  • Bake for 8 minutes on 425 then lower the temperature to 350 and continue baking for 12 -14 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the muffins are rounded on top.
  • When the muffins are cool, combine the ½ cup confectioners sugar and cream and drizzle all over the muffins.

Notes

Use a light colored muffin tin to ensure even heat distribution!
