Coffee Cake Muffins
 
Save Print
Author: Liza Cannata, adapted from Cup4Cup
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups flour (I use gluten free Cup4Cup)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 shot espresso or tablespoon instant espresso powder mixed with 3 tablespoons warm water
  • For the Topping:
  • 3 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • ½ cup flour (I use Cup4Cup flour)
  • 3 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon (1 g) ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Line a muffin pan with paper muffin liners.
  3. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, heat over medium-high heat to make brown butter. Cook until little brown bits appear in the bottom of the pan and it smells nutty. Immediately, remove pan from the heat and let cool.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk mixture and brown butter. Stir gently to combine. Batter will be thick.
  6. Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. Stir the espresso into one of the bowls. You now have 2 batters. Scoop the plain batter into the prepared muffin tin, dividing it evenly. Next, scoop the espresso batter on top of the plain batter.
  7. To make the topping combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and rub the butter in between your fingertips until it becomes fully incorporated. The mixture should be crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the batter in the muffin pan.
  8. Bake until muffins are golden, crisp and the muffins spring back when pressed firmly, about 20-25 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack for 15 minutes then remove from the pan.
