What’s better than starting your day with a hot cup of coffee and a plate of warm Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins with a Cinnamon Streusel Topping? Nothing!

Coffee Cake Muffins

I’m a coffee cake lover from way back. I mean what’s not to love about having cake for breakfast? Right?! 

A couple of weekends ago I had some friends over for brunch and I served a basket of these warm muffins. The gals loved them! I’m so happy I made a double batch because I was able to send them each home with a couple of muffins to-go.  

Go ahead – start your day with my Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins – you won’t be sorry!

The Streusel Topping

One of the best things about any coffee cake is the streusel topping. Streusel is nothing more than a crumbly sweet topping that goes on top of pastries. The topping provides a totally different texture than the cakey inside of a cake or muffin. 

Making a streusel topping is easy. Here are the ingredients for my favorite streusel:

  • All-purpose flour
  • Oats
  • Pecans
  • Sugar
  • Cinnamon 
  • Butter

My secret muffin ingredients

This recipe has two secret ingredients in the batter. They each have an important purpose in the recipe. 

  1. Applesauce – I often use applesauce in my baking. I use it as a substitute for using oil. You can exchange it 1/2-to-1/2  in a cake, quick sweet bread or muffin recipe or you can exchange it 1-to-1 which is what I did for this recipe. I simply added 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce instead of 1/2 cup of oil. If you haven’t tried using applesauce, you really should. No one will know the difference and you’ll be cutting out a whole lot of fat. 
  2. Sour Cream – I used 1 cup of sour cream in this recipe. Sour cream gives the batter a slight tanginess similar to buttermilk. It also provides for a moister finished baked good.
