Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour (120g)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (107g)
  • ¼ cup sugar (50g)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup butter (unsalted, cold, diced small.)
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour (300g)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (218g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup confectioners sugar (56g)
  • 1 tbsp cream

Directions

  1. 1

    Make the crumb topping. In a small bowl combine the 1 cup flour, 1/2 brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 -1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.

  2. 2

    Use a pastry cutter to cut in the ½ cup butter or pinch the butter into the mixture with your fingers gently until small clumps are formed no larger than the size of a pea. Place in the fridge while you make the cake.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 425° F and line a 12 cup muffin tip with muffin liners.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl combine the 2 ½ cups flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, and ½ tsp kosher salt and mix to combine.

  5. 5

    In a medium sized bowl combine the 4 eggs, and 1 cup oil and mix to combine. Add the ¼ cup buttermilk and 1 tsp vanilla and mix again.

  6. 6

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix only until combined. Do not over mix. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Using a 3 tbsp ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into the muffin tin ¾ of the way full. Top with crumb topping. It’s ok if the crumb topping is overflowing a bit.

  8. 8

    Bake for 8 minutes on 425 then lower the temperature to 350 and continue baking for 12 -14 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the muffins are rounded on top.

  9. 9

    When the muffins are cool, combine the ½ cup confectioners sugar and cream and drizzle all over the muffins.
