Old post! I have not yet formatted this for a recipe card, but if you are looking for a recipe for muffins with a streusel topping, this recipe is worth a try.
Old Post From 2009
I was supposed to be cleaning and prepping for Fuzz’s party, but I got an email from a friend asking for a good streusel muffin recipe. I hadn’t planned on baking today, but streusel muffins sounded so good I ran to the kitchen and made a quick batch of these Streusel Coffee Cake Muffins.
This is a half batch, slightly modified (chocolate chunks, pecans) version of a recipe from That's My Home. It looks like a long recipe, but the ingredients in the batter are mostly just repeats from the streusel.
These are rich and very good. I'm not sure I'd eat them for breakfast on a regular basis, but I would eat them for dessert or serve them at a school function.
Streusel Coffee Cake Muffins
1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (22 grams)
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar (27 grams)
2 tablespoons quick or old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (18 grams)
¾ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted
Batter:
1 cups all purpose flour (135 grams)
⅓ cups packed light brown sugar (74 grams)
½ tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg (I think I used a little more)
¼ cup buttermilk (60 ml)
2 tablespoons lightly beaten egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (57 grams)
¼ cup chocolate chunks or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375° F. Line 6 muffins cups with paper liners or spray with baking spray.
Combine softened butter, brown sugar, oats, flour, and cniinamon in a bowl. Stir with a fork until crumbly. Stir in nuts and set aside.
Thoroughly combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl and set aside.
Whisk buttermilk, egg and vanilla together in a mixing bowl. Pour into dry ingredients, followed by melted butter. Stir until evenly moistened; Stir in chocolate chips.
Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle topping over tops. Bake until golden and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean – about 20 minutes.
Yield: 6 muffins

Also, mine were done in about 16-17 minutes. Probably due to the dark muffin pans.

Fantastico!! I mean, seriously yummy! I didn't have any pecans, walnuts, or other appropriate nut, but they taste great without them too. Side note: if you forget to mix in the chocolate chips, they work well on top too. 🙂

I've always been guilty of reading (books, the internet, whatever) instead of doing what needs done. Amazing how many really interesting things you can find to do. The problem with cleaning is you do it before & you do in again after. 🙂
