Coffee Cake Muffins
Ingredients
- For topping:
- 3 Tbs. butter
- 1/4 C. light brown sugar
- 1/4 C. rolled oats
- 1/4 C. flour
- 1/4 C. chopped walnuts
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- For batter:
- 1 1/2 C. buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 C. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted
- 3 1/4 C. flour
- 1 C. light brown sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Directions
To prepare topping: Place all topping ingredients with butter on top, in a food processor. Pulse a few times until mixture is coarse and crumbly. You can do this by hand if you prefer. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray.
To prepare batter: Whisk buttermilk and eggs together. Stir buttermilk mixture and melted butter until well mixed. Stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Pour buttermilk/butter mixture over flour mixture, stirring just to moisten.
Scoop 1/4 C. of batter into prepared muffin tin (the tin will be almost full). Sprinkle with topping, covering top of each muffin completely. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs attached. Cool for 3 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack.
