Ingredients

For the Cinnamon Muffins

2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons (6 g) baking powder
½ teaspoon (1 g) kosher salt
2 teaspoons (5 g) ground cinnamon
½ cup (1 stick) (113 g) unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup (198 g) granulated sugar
2 large (100 g) eggs
2 teaspoons (9 g) vanilla extract
½ cup (123 g) buttermilk or buttermilk substitute

For the Streusel Topping

1/2 cup (107 g) packed brown sugar
1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (20 g) quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons ) (57 g) butter room temperature

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375º F. Spray muffin tins with bakers spray or coat well with shortening or butter and flour, making sure to discard any excess flour from the tins after coating.
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Cream together butter and sugar until lightened in color, about 3 minutes. Add an egg, one at a time, taking care to fully incorporate before adding the other. Mix in vanilla.
Gently fold in flour mixture, alternating with milk. Stir until just combined. Scoop mixture into prepared muffin tins, filling about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
For the topping, mix together brown sugar, flour, oats and butter until about pea-sized crumbles form. Top the muffin batter with the streusel topping.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick or skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Once muffins have baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the muffin tin. Then, remove each muffin to a serving plate or stand.
