Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Coffee Cake Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fill the muffin cups with the batter and prepare the streusel topping by mixing brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and cold unsalted butter until coarse crumbs form.
  6. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Let muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully.
