Tips for Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins

– For that bakery-style crumb topping, temperature matters. Use cold butter cut into small cubes and mix it into the flour and sugar until you get pea-sized crumbs.

-Overbaking is one of the easiest mistakes to make with muffins. Even a few extra minutes can dry them out. Start checking your muffins a few minutes before the recommended baking time is up. Insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin.

– The cinnamon swirl is what makes these muffins taste like classic coffee cake. To get a bold and flavorful swirl, make sure your brown sugar and cinnamon are mixed evenly.

What to Eat with Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins ??

Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins are soft, buttery, and topped with that irresistible cinnamon crumble, making them perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy afternoon snack. I love serving them warm with a fresh cup of coffee, or alongside something creamy like Banana Milk for the kids.

If we’re hosting family or friends, I’ll sometimes serve them alongside something fruity like Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes to add a bright contrast to the warm cinnamon flavor.

Ingredients you need to make Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins :

– All-purpose flour is the base of these muffins and gives them structure while keeping the crumb soft and tender.

– Granulated sugar sweetens the muffins and helps create a light, fluffy texture.

– Brown sugar adds moisture and that deep caramel flavor that makes coffee cake so comforting.

– Butter adds richness and gives the muffins a soft, bakery-style crumb.

– Eggs bind everything together and help the muffins rise properly.

– Sour cream is the secret ingredient that keeps the muffins incredibly moist and adds a slight tang.

– Vanilla extract adds warmth and depth.

– Ground cinnamon is the star spice and gives these muffins their classic coffee cake flavor.

• Optional : powdered sugar glaze adds a sweet finishing touch.

How to Make Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins :

Step 1

To get started preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. This helps the muffins not stick.

Mix the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Then add the sour cream, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is creamy and combined.

Step 2

After that add the dry ingredients. In the same bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently. Do not overmix. Mix just until you don’t see dry flour anymore. The batter should be thick but smooth.

Prepare the cinnamon swirl. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.

Step 3

Moving along to make the crumb topping. In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter cubes. Use your fingers or a fork to press and mix until it looks like small crumbs.

Step 4

Fill the muffin cups. Spoon batter into each muffin liner, filling them halfway. Sprinkle a spoonful of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter. Then add more batter on top until the cups are about ¾ full.

At this point add the crumb topping. Sprinkle the crumb mixture generously on top of each muffin.

Step 5

Bake. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) without opening the oven. Bake for another 13–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
