Chocolate Chip Streusel Muffins With Cinnamon Crumb

Chocolate Chip Streusel Muffins With Cinnamon Crumb

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

Scale

For the Muffins:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Cinnamon Streusel:

  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well with cooking spray. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and cinnamon. Use a fork or a pastry cutter to work the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse sand with small pea-sized clumps. Set this aside in the refrigerator to keep the butter cold.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Ensure the melted butter has cooled slightly so it does not scramble the egg.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the well. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together gently. Stop mixing as soon as no large streaks of flour remain; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips. Overmixing at this stage will result in tough, dense muffins.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Retrieve the streusel from the fridge and sprinkle a generous tablespoon over the top of each muffin. Press the crumbs down very lightly so they adhere to the batter during the rise.
  5. Place the tin on the center rack of the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve them warm for the best chocolate-melting experience.
