Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; swap with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness; substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier twist.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Essential leavening agent for a perfect rise; always check for freshness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Balances and enhances flavors; never skip this important ingredient.
  • 1 cup Milk Adds moisture; almond milk is a great dairy-free alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil Ensures moistness; can be replaced with melted coconut oil for flavor variation.
  • 1 large Egg Binds all ingredients together; use a flaxseed or chia egg for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Brings depth to flavors; almond extract can also be used for a unique touch.
For the Crumble Topping
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar Contributes sweetness and moisture to the topping; white sugar can work in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Adds a warm spice; feel free to increase for more robust flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Key to the crumble’s texture; opt for high-quality butter to enhance the overall taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until thoroughly blended.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
  5. Mix together the light brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Spoon half of the muffin batter into the muffin cups and sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it.
  6. In another bowl, mix together the flour, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and unsalted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over each muffin.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and tops are lightly golden.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
