Grocery List
  • Streusel:
  • ¾ c. flour,
  • ½ c. dark brown sugar
  • 1 heaping tsp. cinnamon
  • 6 T. cold butter
  • ¼ c. coconut (optional)
  • Batter:
  • ½ c. softened butter
  • ½ c. pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • ½ c. buttermilk (or 1 T. white vinegar and milk to make ½ cup -- let it sit a few minutes to curdle)
  • ½ c. plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 c. flour
  • 2½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp - 1 tsp. cinnamon (your preference)
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (can use mini if you'd prefer)
Here's how...
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease muffin tins or line with paper liners.
  3. Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and coconut (optional) with a mixer or your fingers to create a streusel. The mixture will be chunky.
  4. In another mixing bowl, mix softened butter, pure maple syrup, vanilla, buttermilk (or 1 T. white vinegar and milk to make ½ cup -- let it sit a few minutes to curdle), plain yogurt or sour cream, and eggs.
  5. Mix the following dry ingredients and add them to the wet ingredients just until combined: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (can use mini if you'd prefer).
  7. Layer the batter and streusel. Use a small scoop to put about 1 - 1½ T. of batter into each cup. Next, scoop 1 T. streusel, then another scoop of batter, and follow with another Tablespoonful of streusel. Batter, streusel, batter, streusel.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops spring back when touched or a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
