Coffee Cake Muffins Recipe

Happy Sunday! Recently my favorite Saturday morning activity has been to wake up and bake! I don’t know why, but something about the seasons changing and fall coming makes me want to bake all the cozy breads, muffins and treats! I made my great grandmother’s pumpkin bread recipe for the first time this season a couple of weeks ago and it was heavenly! I decided to switch things up this weekend and try out a new recipe for coffee cake muffins…yum!

I have always loved a good coffee cake, and these muffins were so easy to make! They were delicious, and the streusel topping has such a yummy cinnamon brown sugar taste! A great option this fall if pumpkin just isn’t your thing!

Muffin Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

A dash of salt

5 tbsp softened butter

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

1 cup sour cream

Streusel Ingredients:

3/4 cup flour

3/4 cup brown sugar

5 tbsp softened butter

1 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F & line muffin tin with liners or grease with cooking spray. This recipe makes 12 regular sized muffins.
  2. In a mixing bowl combine muffin dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) and whisk together.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine muffin wet ingredients (butter, oil, eggs, and sour cream) and stir together.  I use my KitchenAid here and then add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients already in the mixer!
  4. 1 cup at a time, add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously, until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour half of the mixture into the muffin tins and set aside.
  6. Next, make the streusel by combining the flour, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon in a bowl and stirring together with a fork to make a wet sand-like consistency.
  7. Sprinkle half the streusel to the top of the muffin batter to create a middle filling, and then add the remaining muffin batter on top.
  8. Add the remaining streusel to the top of the muffins, and place in the oven to cook for 20-25 minutes on 350°F.
  9. Transfer muffins to a cooling rack and then enjoy warm!

That’s it! Super easy and such a delicious breakfast treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee! If you decide to make this recipe, share a photo and tag me so I can see!

I’d love to know what your favorite fall recipe is! I’m always looking for new things to make and try out! Send them my way! 🙂
