Ingredients
  

Muffin Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Crumble Topping
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a second bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla until glossy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon for the crumble.
  6. Fill muffin cups halfway with batter, sprinkle on some crumble, top with more batter, and finish with additional crumble.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18–20 minutes until the tops are set and lightly toasted.
  2. Allow to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Let muffins cool briefly but not too long in the pan to avoid steaming. Store at room temperature in a covered container.
