2 cups all-purpose flour Essential for structure, making your muffins fluffy.
1 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness and a delightful lift to the batter.
½ cup unsalted butter Melted to impart richness; can substitute with coconut oil.
1 tablespoon baking powder The leavening agent helping your muffins rise beautifully.
½ teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors, creating balance.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Provides a warm, inviting spice.
½ cup whole milk Gives moisture and a tender crumb; can swap with almond milk.
2 large eggs Essential for binding and adding richness.
½ teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses a lovely aroma.

½ cup all-purpose flour Holds the streusel together, giving that satisfying crunch.
½ cup brown sugar Adds depth and a lovely caramel flavor.
¼ cup unsalted butter Cold and cut into small pieces to create crumbly morsels.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Reinforces the warm flavors.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with liners or grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon for streusel topping, then add cold butter to create crumbs.
Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full with the muffin batter.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffin batter.
Bake in the oven for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Avoid overmixing the batter for the best results and feel free to customize with add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
