Elevate your baked goods with this irresistible Gluten-Free Streusel Topping—a buttery, crumbly, and delightfully sweet addition to any dessert. Made with gluten-free all-purpose flour, a blend of brown and granulated sugars, and a hint of optional cinnamon for added warmth, this topping is effortlessly mixed with cold cubed butter to create the perfect golden, crumbly texture. Ready in just 10 minutes, it's ideal for sprinkling over pies, muffins, crisps, or coffee cakes. Whether baked immediately or stored for later, this versatile streusel topping is a must-have for gluten-free bakers looking to add a crispy, caramelized layer of sweetness to their creations.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Mix together until evenly distributed.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The texture should be crumbly with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.
Use the streusel topping immediately by sprinkling it over your baked goods (like muffins or pies) or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week until ready to use.
Bake the streusel-topped dessert according to your recipe. The streusel topping will become golden brown and crisp as it bakes.
