Jumbo Coffee Cake Muffins image

I made these muffins on a Saturday morning and they were moist and delicious - definitely bakery quality. Two thumbs up. Note the layer of streusel in the middle of the muffin - it's a shame to waste it all on the topping!

Ingredients
For the streusel:
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter (1 stick), cut into small pieces
For the muffins:
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), at room temperature
1 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup nonfat Greek-style yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
Makes 12 muffins

Steps:

  • Prepare the streusel: In a medium size bowl, stir together the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles large coarse crumbs; refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Prepare the muffins: Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Line 10-jumbo muffin cups with paper liners. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.Using an electric mixer, beat together the butter, yogurt, lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. With the mixer on low, beat in the flour mixture, just until combined.Divide half the batter among the ten muffin cups; top with half the streusel. Cover with the remaining batter; top with the remaining streusel. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
