These cinnamon muffins are so easy to prepare and have an irresistible streusel topping. These moist and flavourful cinnamon crumb muffins are a must-try!

These Cinnamon Muffins are to die for! Perfect for morning or afternoon tea, they come together very quickly and use only simple ingredients.
I adore cinnamon as an ingredient, and have quite a few recipes where it is the star, including my puff pastry cinnamon rolls and my cinnamon sugar popcorn.
Cinnamon is once again a star in this muffins, and is included in both the muffin and the crumb topping. The muffin is so moist and flavourful, while the streusel crumb adds a lovely crunch.
INGREDIENTS
Here's what you'll need to make these irresistible cinnamon muffins (measurements listed in the full recipe at the bottom of this post)...

- Vanilla
- Milk
- Egg
- Self Raising Flour
- Cinnamon
- Salt
Crumb Topping:
- Brown Sugar
- White Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F and grease a 12-hole muffin tray.
To make the crumb topping, add the sugar, cinnamon, salt and flour in a bowl and mix to combine.
Next add butter and mix together until it forms a similar consistency to wet sand. Set aside.
Mix butter and sugar together.
Add egg, milk and vanilla and mix well to combine. Next, add flour, cinnamon and salt and mix until just combined.
Spoon mixture into the muffin tray, filling almost to the top of each cup.
Sprinkle the crumb topping over the mixture.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Leave in the pan for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
TOP TIPS
