Description

Instead of spending your hard-earned money on takeout muffins each morning, save the cash by making your own crumb-topped coffee cake muffins at home.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons whole milk
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 7/8 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2 Mix then sift flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
3 Mix milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Carefully fold in flour until combined but slightly lumpy. Pour batter into the prepared muffin tins, leaving a little room at the top for muffins to rise.
4 Combine flour, melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt for the topping in a bowl; mix until crumbly. Add a generous amount on top of each muffin.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
