Muffins

  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, such as Glicks

  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon Gefen Cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 3/4 cup milk

  • 1/3 cup canola oil

  • 2 large eggs

Directions

Prepare the Crumb Topping

1.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Fill a muffin pan with paper liners and set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2.

In a medium bowl, combine sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk in melted margarine. Add flour and stir until just combined. Spread out the crumb mixture on the prepared baking sheet and set aside to dry until ready to use.

Prepare the Muffins

1.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

2.

In a second bowl, whisk together milk, oil, and eggs.

3.

Add milk mixture to flour mixture and stir just until combined. Distribute the batter evenly between the muffin cups and sprinkle with crumb topping, gently pressing the crumbs into the batter.

4.

Bake 15–17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

Prepare the Glaze

1.

In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. If the glaze is too thin, add more confectioners’ sugar.

2.

Drizzle the glaze over the muffins and let it set before serving.

Notes:

Freeze muffins, unglazed, in an airtight container for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature and drizzle glaze just before serving.

Does the glaze become hard? Can I pile up a few muffins?

Can the glaze be put a few days in advance and kept in the fridge? Or does it need to be that day?

I think you need to make the glaze fresh- if not it becomes too hard

If I want the glaze to be hard so I can pile them up, I can do that? Or it wont be good?

The glaze dries down hard. It starts off thick, and you pour it on, and after a few minutes it’ll become hard, which is why it’ll harden in a bowl if you make it in advance!

If I make it a few days in advance, pour over the muffins right away and put the muffins in the fridge with the glaze on for a few days.

Yup- that would work! Or you can even freeze them if you’d like 🙂

Can I use dairy milk for the glaze, or it has to be non-dairy?

Hi Freidy! Coffee Cake doesn’t actually have coffee 🙂 It refers to a vanilla cake with a cinnamon crumble, and it got its name because it is usually eaten with coffee!
