Elevate your baked goods with this irresistible Cinnamon Streusel recipe—a sweet, crumbly topping that adds the perfect buttery crunch to muffins, coffee cakes, and more. Made with a blend of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for balanced sweetness, and infused with warm ground cinnamon for that comforting, spiced aroma, this streusel comes together in just minutes. A touch of melted butter ensures a perfectly crumbly texture, while the pinch of salt provides a subtle contrast to the sweetness. Easy to prepare in under 10 minutes, this versatile topping is the secret ingredient to turning any baked treat into a showstopper. Give your desserts a bakery-quality finish with this simple yet decadent recipe!
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly combined and no clumps remain.
Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients.
Using a fork, gently mix the ingredients until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. Be careful not to over-mix; you want distinct clumps of streusel.
At this point, the streusel is ready to be used as a topping for your baked goods.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over your batter (for muffins, coffee cake, etc.) before baking.
Bake your chosen recipe as directed, allowing the streusel topping to become golden and slightly crisp.
Let cool before serving and enjoy the delightful buttery, cinnamon-sweet crunch!
