Ingredients
 

Muffin Ingredients

  • 2 egg
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour, or gluten-free all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Streusel Topping

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, melted

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk, add an additional tsp of milk at a time if you want to thin out the glaze

Instructions
 

  • Add the muffin liners to a muffin pan (I put them in every other mold to give the muffins room to rise)
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
  • Start by making the muffin base. Combine all of the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl
  • Mix until just combined then fold in the dry ingredients.
  • Scoop 2 tbsp of batter into each muffin liner
  • Top with a layer of the cinnamon sugar mixture that has been combined together in a small bowl
  • Add another 1-2 tbsp of batter on top
  • Spread in an even layer
  • Next, make the crumble topping
  • Combine all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl until you have a crumble. It should have clumps but not be dry in texture
  • Top each muffin with a layer of the crumble topping
  • Bake in the oven for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
  • Let the muffins cool and make the vanilla glaze
  • Once the muffins have cooled, drizzle the vanilla glaze on top
  • Enjoy!
