Ingredients
Muffins
- 150 g all purpose flour
- 100 g brown sugar
- 50 ml oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 80 ml milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Swirl Filling
- 6 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
Streuse Topping
- 50 g all purpose flour
- 25 g rolled oats
- 50 g butter melted
- 45 g brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder (ground cinnamon)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170°Celsius.
Streusel Topping
- Prepare the streusel topping. Melt butter and let it cool down.
- Mix the oats, flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Add the melted butter and mix to form a crumbled mix. Set aside.
Filling
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon powder for the filling and set aside.
Muffins Batter
- To make the muffins batter, sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add brown sugar and mix with a whisk until the sugar is well incorporated into the flour. Keep aside.
- In a separate measuring jug, measure the oil and milk. Add the egg and beat lightly to incorporate it into the oil and milk. Mix in the vanilla extract. Pour the liquid ingredients into dry ingredients and mix briefly until the flour mixture is all moistened and just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop the muffins batter into prepared muffin cups until about half full. Spoon half teaspoon of cinnamon filling and top with muffin batter until about ⅔ full. Use a skewer to swirl the batter.
- Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping until full.
- Bake the muffins for 13 minutes. Increase the baking time if using larger muffin casings.
- Remove muffins from oven and let cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
Notes
- Baking time varies by muffin size. I baked my muffins in mini muffin cups. My recipe below yielded 12 mini cinnamon streusel muffins. If you are planning on using standard or normal-sized muffin cups, you would need to increase the baking time slightly.
- When filling the batter into the muffin cups, fill it to about ⅔ full only. You will need to give some allowance for the cinnamon streusel topping as well as for the muffins to rise slightly during baking.
