Ingredients

Crumb Layer

  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened

Muffins

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup vanilla greek yogurt
  • cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup buttermilk

Instructions

Crumb Layer

  • Combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter in a small bowl and mix well until until they have the consistency of wet sand. Set aside until ready to use.

Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 375F and line or grease 10 wells of a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and nutmeg.
  • Stir together to combine the dry ingredients.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sugar, egg, yogurt, vegetable oil, and buttermilk. Whisk until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and mix until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin tins until they are ¼ full-- this should use about half of the batter.
  • Divide half of the crumb layer between the muffins.
  • Top with the remaining batter, dividing between the muffin cups and top with the remaining crumb topping.
  • Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack.
  • Once cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
