Ingredients
Scale
- Muffin Batter:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- In a separate bowl, combine all the ingredients for the crunch topping until crumbly.
- Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full with batter and sprinkle the crunch topping generously on top.

- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make-ahead: The muffin batter can be prepared the night before and stored in the refrigerator. Just add the crunch topping before baking.
- Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Substitutions: For a dairy-free version, use almond milk and coconut oil instead of butter.
