Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Muffin Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted If using salted butter, expect a slightly saltier finish.
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Crumble Topping
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon for the crumble topping.
  6. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, add a layer of crumble topping, then add more batter until the cups are full. Finish with a sprinkle of crumble on top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the tops are set and lightly golden, and a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. Cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, stop mixing as soon as the flour is incorporated and aim for an even crumble texture. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
