"If you love coffee cake, youโll love these cinnamon streusel cakeโinspired muffins that combine the warmth of cinnamon and vanilla with the irresistible crunch of a sweet streusel topping. They are best enjoyed warm and can be reheated in a toaster oven or microwave for a great on-the-go breakfast that pairs perfectly with coffee or tea."

Preheat oven to 425ยฐF. Line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners.

Make the muffins:
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, vanilla. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add milk. Add dry ingredients until combined.
Scoop batter into prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle generously with streusel topping, pressing down gently into the tops to ensure that it sticks. Each cup should be full once the streusel is added.
