Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Grease only the bottoms of a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the streusel, the light brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. With a pastry cutter, cut butter in until it looks like coarse meal. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the batter – the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
- Mix in the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Sprinkle the streusel on top of the batter and then use a rubber spatula to gently fold it or poke it in a few times.
- Evenly divide the batter between the muffin cups.
- Bake for 13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Transfer muffin tin to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
Recipe Notes
Note: If you do not have buttermilk on hand, use 1/2 cup milk mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
