Delicious cinnamon muffins topped with a crunchy crumb topping for an irresistible flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 260 g bread flour, spooned and leveled
  • 200 g light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons powdered milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, preferably Saigon or Vietnamese
  • 0.75 teaspoon fine salt or 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 240 ml whole milk
  • 160 ml canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
  • 50 g light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons bread flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour, light brown sugar, powdered milk, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground nutmeg. Create a well in the center.
  2. In a separate bowl or large measuring jug, beat together whole milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  3. Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredient well. Gently mix with a rubber spatula just until combined, leaving some small lumps. Scrape down bowl sides and bottom as needed.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the batter sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to hydrate the flour.
  5. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.
  6. In a small bowl, melt salted butter. Stir in light brown sugar, bread flour, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until a cohesive crumb forms.
  7. After resting, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin wells, filling each nearly to the top.
  8. Sprinkle cinnamon crumb topping evenly over the muffin batter, avoiding contact with liner edges.
  9. Bake for 7 minutes at 220°C, then lower the temperature to 175°C and continue baking for 15 to 17 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
  10. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh spices.
  • Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for additional flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
