COFFEE CAKE MUFFINS are soft, moist, and topped off with streusel and a simple glaze! We think these muffins are the best way to start the day. Grab your coffee and enjoy!
There is just something about whipping up a batch of muffins that makes me feel like the perfect mom.
It seems like such a loving mom thing to do, you know?
These blueberry streusel muffins are a serious favorite around our house. I earn major mom points every time I make them.
I knew a coffee cake muffin would be a big hit too – and I was definitely not wrong. 😉
How to Make:
Start by making the streusel. This will give it time to dry out a bit as you prepare the muffins.
You’ll just stir together melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour until combined.
To make the muffins, stir together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt) and then make a well in the center.
Stir together the wet ingredients (oil, milk, egg, and vanilla) and then pour that right into the well.
Mix the batter with a fork until combined, but don’t overmix. The batter should be a bit lumpy.
Scoop the batter into a lined muffin tin. We use a large cookie scoop to get evenly sized muffins every time.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top and bake the muffins.
You can stop there and just enjoy the muffins as they are…but why not add a simple powdered sugar glaze??
I love a good glaze myself.
This one is easy – just stir together cream and powdered sugar until it’s as thick as you’d like and drizzle it over the top of your muffins.
