Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed (for crumb topping)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for crumb topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are okay.
In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon ripple by mixing the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together.
Fill each muffin cup one-third of the way with the batter. Add about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon ripple mixture to the center of each cup, and then top with more batter until the cups are about three-quarters full, covering the cinnamon ripple.
In another small bowl, make the crumb topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the muffins.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
