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!

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup pecan halves (1 1/8 ounces)
3 tablespoons light- or dark-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cold unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
A few gratings of whole nutmeg
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted, plus more for tin

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Stir together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside. Butter 10 cups of a standard nonstick muffin tin; set aside.
  • Make streusel: Spread out pecans on a baking sheet. Toast in oven, shaking occasionally, until crisp and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Raise oven temperature to 375°. Put brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and flour in a medium bowl. Blend in butter with your fingertips until well combined. Crumble pecans into small pieces; work into streusel with fingertips until just combined. Cover, and refrigerate.
  • Combine dry ingredients: Sift flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and spices into a large bowl; set aside.
  • Combine wet ingredients: Whisk together eggs, vanilla, and milk in a separate large bowl. Whisk in melted butter.
  • Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients; fold with a rubber spatula until combined. Spoon batter into buttered cups, filling each less than one-third full. Gently press batter into an even layer.
  • Divide reserved streusel among cups, then top with remaining batter. Sprinkle with reserved cinnamon sugar. Fill any empty cups in the tin halfway with water. Bake muffins until puffed and golden brown, about 18 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly in tin, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack; let cool a few minutes more before serving warm.

For me, the best part about coffee cake is the crispy, crunchy, buttery crumbs. So here I significantly upped the amounts used. Bake times will vary according to pan size and composition.

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups pecans, finely chopped
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 ⅞ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream or creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch by 10-inch baking dish.
  • Mix pecans, 1/3 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter thoroughly in a mixing bowl until all components are coated with butter, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • In another bowl, mix together butter and 1 cup sugar with a spatula until well blended. Add 1 egg and whisk until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in second egg until thoroughly incorporated. Add vanilla and sour cream; whisk together. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; whisk until flour disappears (do not over mix).
  • Spread one half of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter one half of the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Top with the rest of the batter and spread carefully to evenly distribute, trying not to disturb the crumbs. Top with the rest of the crumb mixture. Very gently press crumbs into batter. Bake in preheated oven until a bamboo skewer comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients ahead of time. This will make the baking process much smoother and quicker.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from breaking.

With their moist crumb, sweet streusel topping, and rich coffee flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
