Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake Muffins With Streusel

Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake Muffins With Streusel

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • For the Muffin Batter:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Streusel
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it thoroughly with non-stick spray. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the topping. Use a fork or a pastry cutter to cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set this aside in the refrigerator to keep the butter cold while you make the batter.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Ensure there are no large clumps of flour. Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients to make it easier to incorporate the liquid components later.
  3. Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
    In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Make sure the melted butter has cooled slightly so it doesn’t scramble the egg upon contact.
  4. Step 4: Fold the Batter and Add Chocolate
    Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to fold the mixture together gently. Stop mixing as soon as the flour streaks disappear; overmixing leads to tough muffins. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Step 5: Assemble and Bake
    Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Generously sprinkle the chilled streusel topping over each muffin, pressing it down very lightly so it sticks. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
