COFFEE CAKE MUFFINS

Category: Muffins

For topping
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

For batter
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
3/4 cup butter, melted
3 1/4 cups flour
1 cup light brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

To prepare topping: Place all ingredients (butter through cinnamon) with butter on top, in a food processor. Pulse a few times until mixture is coarse and crumbly. You can do this by hand if you prefer. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray. To prepare batter: Whisk buttermilk and eggs together. Stir buttermilk mixture and melted butter until well mixed.

Stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Pour buttermilk/butter mixture over flour mixture, stirring just to moisten. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into prepared muffin tin (the tin will be almost full). Sprinkle with topping, covering top of each muffin completely. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs attached. Cool for 3 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack.
