Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar No substitutions necessary.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Can swap with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 1/2 cup Butter (Melted) Consider coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • 2 large Large Eggs Flaxseed meal works as a vegan alternative.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Can be replaced with almond or any other non-dairy milk.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Use vanilla bean paste for a more robust taste.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Ensure it's fresh for best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Opt for sea salt for an interesting twist.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Feel free to substitute with nuts or dried fruits.
For the Crumb Topping
  • 1/2 cup Additional Flour Use the same all-purpose flour from the muffin base.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Use light or dark depending on your preference.
  • 1/4 cup Cold Butter (Cubed) Must be cold to achieve the right consistency.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  2. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of brown sugar, and cubed cold butter. Add ground cinnamon and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss in chocolate chips.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, large eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; the batter should remain lumpy.
  6. Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the crumb mixture on top.
  7. Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
