How To Make Coffee Cake Muffins

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Slowly fold in the chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix.
5. To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon (if using) in a small mixing bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full with the batter. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffins.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Allow the muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.

Variations

• Swap out the filler. If you're more of a fan of fruity muffins for breakfast, swap out the chocolate chips for blueberries for a bright and sweet bite.
• Leave out the chocolate chips. For a classic coffee cake muffin, simply leave out the chocolate chips for a more traditional bite.
• Double the recipe. These coffee cake muffins reheat like a dream, so while you have the oven on, make extras to freeze for later.

What To Serve With Them

Coffee cake muffins pair well with a variety of different drinks and side dishes, depending on the time of day and the occasion.

Here are some of my favorite things to pair these tasty treats with:

• Coffee- As the name suggests, coffee is the traditional pairing for coffee cake muffins. The warm, rich flavor of coffee complements the sweet, moist muffins perfectly.
• Tea- If you're not a coffee drinker, tea is another great option to serve with coffee cake muffins. The subtle flavors of tea can highlight the flavors in the muffins.
• Milk- For a classic pairing, serve the muffins with a cold glass of milk. The creamy, smooth texture of the milk complements the texture of the muffins.
• Juice-For a refreshing option, serve the muffins with a glass of juice such as orange juice, cranberry juice or apple juice. The acidity of the juice can help to cut through the sweetness of the muffins.
• Yogurt- If you're looking for a more substantial side dish, consider serving the muffins with a bowl of yogurt. The tanginess of the yogurt can balance out the sweetness of the muffins.

How To Store And Freeze For Later

Coffee cake muffins will last for about 3-4 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To thaw, place them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
