Streusel Satisfaction
Even my cravings have a short attention span.
Cinnamon Streusel Muffins
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups self rising flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Combine the sugar and butter until smooth-ish, and then add in your egg, milk and vanilla. It’ll be a little lumpy. Stir in the flour until well mixed. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Drop the batter, by tablespoons, into muffin liners. (I actually sprayed my muffin liners with a little non-stick cooking spray. I’m not sure if it’s necessary, but that’s what I did.) Then top with about a teaspoon of cinnamon sugar mixture. Top that with the rest of the batter, and then top with the remaining sugar. (See the pattern?) Bake in the oven at 375, for about 15 minutes, or until golden!
They’re more like… individual coffee cakes. But that’s ok. Because everything is cuter when it’s a single serving.
I gobbled one of these up before it was barely cool. The rest came into work with me, because I couldn’t be trusted around them.
And since a lot of my weekend was spent at Mexican restaurants and/or Cookout (can’t pass up at milkshake at 2am. Especially when I’m with G-love and Eric) I made sure to fit in some workouts.
Eric and I signed up for the Monument 10K, and we’re hoping to run it faster than we did last year! Although, we’re also considering dressing up like LMFAO, so if we’re slower this year, we’ll have an excuse. We did a short run on Saturday, and it was a decent jog, considering the wind was blowing like crazy.
I also returned to my circuit-style workout on Sunday and it made me wonder why I stopped doing it. So effective, and the time flies by. Seriously. (It helped that I had the whole workout room to myself at the gym. What can I say? I like my privacy when I’m doing burpees.)
Parm over an roasted or grilled vegetable is delicious! Not I want some…hmm… 🙂
no races lately! love streusel muffins! favorite muffing is banana chocolate chip 🙂
Liz these look awesome! Then again, anything with streusel is an automatic win.
i’m not a huge muffin eater but if i had to choose it would be a blueberry muffin with that sorta crumb like topping – omg i love those – i think they sell the giant sized ones at costco if i remember from my younger years haha 😉
PLEASE dress up like LMFAO and post it! And those muffins are to die, anything covered in sugary cinnamon is a win in my book.
gah I LOVE muffins..like I’m actually obsessed with them. these look AMAZING!
Even before I had to be GF, I didn’t eat a lot of muffins, mainly, I think, because I didn’t bake much and the purchased ones always were crazy full of sugar and calories! These look delicious though – I want to start experiementing with GF baking, I just haven’t ventured past cookies yet!
