Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup whole milk

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing for light and fluffy muffins!

- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the muffin batter.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat flour and reducing the sugar.
