This easy coffee cake muffins recipe comes with a delicious crumb cake topping that's perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat any time of day.
I love just about anything that comes with a crumb topping. Recently I made these delicious coffee cake muffins with a crumb or streusel topping and they were great for breakfast but they also make a nice snack.
Making Coffee Cake Muffins
Do you remember back in the day when you needed to sift dry ingredients? It's probably still a good idea however you can use a whisk to combine dry ingredients too.

In hindsight, you might want to add the ground cinnamon to the flour mixture. It wasn't really a problem but it is a dry ingredient.
Muffin Baking Tips
- Make sure everything, butter, eggs etc. are at room temperature when you start.
- Use an equal amount of vegetable oil and butter. The butter tastes better but the oil makes a fluffier muffin.
- When combining the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients be sure to use as few strokes as possible.
- Consider spraying the entire muffin tray with cooking spray. This way any wayward batter will be easy to remove later and the muffins will come out easily.
Generally filling muffin tins 3/4 of the way is a good rule of thumb. This recipe filled a standard 12 cup muffin pan.
Likewise, the crumble topping can be divided equally among all twelve cups.
They come out all moist and crispy. Just like a muffin should.
You can keep these coffee cake muffins in an air-tight container for a few days. That's assuming they last that long.
