Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings:12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon Clabber Girl Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Clabber Girl Baking Soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Spice Islands Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ cup butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup milk, at room temperature

For the Streusel

  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cinnadust™, plus more for topping
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, chilled, cut into small cubes

Instructions

Prepare the Streusel

  • Whisk together flour, brown sugar, Cinnadust, and salt. Use food fingertips to smoosh the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (Alternately, you can use a food processor)

Prepare the muffin batter

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line muffin tins with cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars. Mix in eggs, vanilla, Greek yogurt, and milk.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full. Fill the remaining space with the streusel.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Bake for 13-15 minutes while temperature is coming down and remove when an inserted toothpick comes out clean besides a few loose crumbs. Sprinkle with additional Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cinnadust™.
  • Store in airtight container at room temperature or wrap individually with plastic wrap and chill for up to 1 week.
