Instructions

Coffee Cake Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C), and line a muffin tin with paper or reusable liners. Then, melt butter, and allow to cool, around 10 minutes and set both aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine AP flour, brown sugar, white granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg, whisk together until well combined.
  • In another mixing bowl, add melted and cooled butter, eggs, pure vanilla extract and whisk together combined. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.
  • Equally divide batter into prepared muffin trays, and sprinkle each with reserved crumb topping (use your fingers to gently press the crumbs into the batter, be generous with the crumb topping). Place into oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until muffins are golden, and toothpick comes out clean when poked into the center.
  • When muffins done, remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Despite the name, there's actually no coffee or caffeine in coffee cake muffins; however they’re amazing with a cup of coffee - I highly recommend!
