The BEST coffee cake muffins recipe made with Greek yogurt and topped with a cinnamon streusel topping and sweet vanilla glaze. So easy!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Breakfast

Time 38m

Number Of Ingredients 23

2/3 cup whole milk (at room temperature)
1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (at room temperature)
2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
5 tablespoons canola oil or light olive oil
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Zest of 1 small lemon
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray or fit the cups with paper liners and coat the liners with nonstick spray (I find these muffins work best with liners, but if you don't have any on hand, they'll still turn out OK).
  • Start the muffins: In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the milk and Greek yogurt. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Make the streusel: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1:1 flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and allspice. Add the butter and working quickly with your fingers, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until you are left with irregular crumbs. The dry ingredients should all feel moist; some crumbs will be like crumbs of wet sand; other crumbs can be as large as small peas. Place the mixture in the refrigerator.
  • Return to the muffins: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1:1 flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.
  • To the bowl with the milk mixture, add the eggs, oil, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Whisk until well blended.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients. With a rubber spatula, stir quickly but gently to combine, stopping as soon as the flour disappears. It will look a little lumpy.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them no more than 3/4 of the way to the top.
  • Remove the streusel from the refrigerator and scatter the crumbs over the top of the muffins (use it all!).
  • Bake the muffins for 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Place the muffin pan on a wire rack and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Gently remove the muffins from the pan (a butter knife can help) and place them on the wire rack to cool completely. Do not let them sit in the muffin pan for longer than 5 minutes, or they may become soggy. The muffins will be very delicate at first but will firm up as they rest.
  • Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Drizzle over the top of the cooled muffins. Enjoy!

Cranberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Streusel Topping Recipe. Made from butter, flour, sugar and sometimes nuts, streusel cooks into a topping similar to the American crisp and the British crumble, terms that are often used interchangeably. Streusel can be sprinkled over muffins, cupcakes, pies or fresh, soft fruit before baking. In the oven, the butter melts and causes the dry mixture to cook into a crisp, crumbly topping. Without the butter, the mixture would simply scorch. This recipe courtesy of Williams-Sonoma. Adapted from Williams-Sonoma Collection Series, Breakfast, by Brigit L. Binns (Simon & Schuster, 2003).

Time 45m

Yield -

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the streusel topping: 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup dried cranberries, soaked in warm water for 15 minutes, drained and squeezed dry

Steps:

  • 1 To make the streusel topping, in a chilled bowl, combine the butter, sugar and flour. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is the consistency of fine, moist bread crumbs. Work the mixture with your hands until it will hold together when compressed, then squeeze it between your hands into several firm pieces. Cover and refrigerate until the cake is ready to go into the oven. 2 Preheat an oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch or similar-size baking dish with butter. 3 Place the sour cream in a bowl and sift the baking soda and salt into it. Stir to blend evenly and set aside. 4 In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed or a wooden spoon, beat together the butter, sugar and eggs until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Sift the flour and baking powder over the top and mix in, then beat in the sour cream mixture. Scatter the chocolate chips and the drained cranberries over the top. Blend in with just a few turns of a rubber spatula. 5 Scoop the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the surface. Scatter the streusel mixture evenly over the top, breaking it up into large crouton-size pieces (some of the streusel mixture may be small crumbs). 6 Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean but not completely dry, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into squares.
