Ingredients

Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins

    Cinnamon Sugar Filling - Optional

    • ½ cup brown sugar packed
    • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
    • 1 tablespoon butter melted

    Crumble on top

    • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
    • cup brown sugar packed
    • cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour spoon & leveled

    Coffee Cake Muffin Batter

    • ½ cup unsalted butter melted, slightly cooled
    • 2 large eggs room temperature
    • 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
    • ¾ cup sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all purpose flour spooned and leveled
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    Vanilla glaze

    • ¼ cup powdered sugar
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 tablespoons cream if using milk, use 1 tablespoon

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with liners. Very, very lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray if desired.

    Cinnamon Sugar Filling - Optional, if you want cinnamon layer inside muffins

    • In a small bowl, mix together sugar, melted butter and cinnamon; set aside.

    Crumble on top

    • Mix together the sugars, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in melted butter. Add flour and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist. Spread out mixture on parchment paper to dry until ready to use.

    Coffee Cake Muffin Batter

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar. Add in melted butter, Greek yogurt and vanilla extract mixing until smooth.
    • Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.

    Assembly

    • Begin to assemble the batter inside the lined muffin tin by scooping about 2 tablespoons of muffin batter into each muffin cavity. I like to use a small scoop, works easily if you have one!
    • Place a tablespoon of cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each, then top each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of muffin batter, filling the tin 3/4 of the way to the top. (You get 12 if large muffins if you use all the batter. If you use less, you could get 16 - 18 muffins and bake them accordingly, by decreasing the timer 5-10 minutes.)
    • Sprinkle muffins with crumb topping, using your fingertips to gently press the crumbs into the batter. Place into oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
    • Allow muffins to cool down to room temperature in the pan prior to transferring them to a wire rack to glaze.
    • Drizzle a little glaze over warm or cooled muffins.

    Vanilla glaze

    • Mix together the powdered sugar and cream/milk together to get a smooth glaze. Drizzle on top if desired.
    • Warm these up in the microwave and enjoy with your cup of coffee or juice!
