New Jersey Crumb Cake Muffins

New Jersey Crumb Cake Muffins

Here's what you'll need:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 2 large eggs

Crumb Topping:

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar 
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Icing Drizzle:

  • 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon milk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and adjust your baking rack to the middle of the oven. 
  2. Take out a muffin tin and place your paper liners or coat with cooking spray. 
  3. Begin by making the crumb topping and mix together the sugars, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
  4. Slowly whisk in the melted butter until combined.
  5. Next, add in the flour with a rubber spatula just until moist.
  6. Spread the mixture out on parchment paper to dry until ready to use.
  7. Up next, the muffin batter. In a large bowl combine your dry ingredients including the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together your wet ingredients including the milk, canola oil and egg.
  9. Pour the wet mixture over the dry, and mix using a rubber spatula until moist.
  10. Scoop the batter into the muffin pan. Top each cup with the crumb topping, and using your fingertips to gently press the crumbs into the batter.
  11. Place into oven and bake for 15-17 minutes.
  12. While they bake, make the glaze by combining the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and milk. Whisk until smooth. (If the glaze is too thin, add more confectioners’ sugar as needed.)
  13. When the muffins are done, cool for 10 minutes and drizzle the glaze on each muffin.
I got the recipe for these muffins from Damndelicious.net, and damn delicious they were.
