Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar (for topping)
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips gently with a spatula.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
To prepare the topping, combine the light brown sugar and all-purpose flour in a small bowl. Add the cubed cold butter and cut it into the mixture using a fork or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the brown sugar topping evenly over the muffin batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
