Ingredients

For Crumb Topping:

  • 95 g All-purpose flour
  • 65 g Light brown sugar
  • 40 g Melted butter

For Muffin Batter:

  • 145 g Melted unsalted butter
  • 240 g Granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs (100g)
  • 315 g All-purpose flour
  • 8 g Baking powder
  • 5 g Baking soda
  • 1 g Salt
  • 60 ml Strong cooled brewed coffee or 1-2 teaspoons of instant coffee in 60ml water
  • 120 ml Buttermilk
  • 35 g Greek yogurt
  • 12 g Vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly with small and large clusters. Set aside while you prepare the batter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and eggs until smooth. Add the cooled coffee, buttermilk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Using an electric hand mixer, beat briefly for about 30–60 seconds until the batter is smooth and combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C. Line your muffin tray with paper liners. Fill each muffin cup almost full for bakery style muffin tops. Generously sprinkle the crumble topping over each muffin.
  • Bake at 220°C for 5–6 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 190°C and continue baking for 14–18 minutes until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
