How To Make crumb cake muffins

  • 1
    Cream butter (room temperature) and sugar until well blended. Add egg and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  • 2
    Sift flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • 3
    Add flour a little at a time.
  • 4
    Alternate a little milk and flour until you use it all. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. Do not overbeat.
  • 5
    For the crumb topping, mix the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in butter until it resembles gravel.
  • 6
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 24 cupcake tins with paper liner and lightly spray the liners and pan with cooking spray.
  • 7
    Fill each muffin tin approximately 3/4 of the way full.
  • 8
    Top each muffin with the crumb topping.
  • 9
    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check the middle of the muffin to see if it springs back when touched lightly and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • 10
    Cool for about 30 minutes in the pan. Then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
