- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar

Prep Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Make Streusel: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
Fill Muffin Tins: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tins. Top with the reserved streusel.
Bake and Cool: Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious coffee cake muffins!
