  • To make muffins: mix together flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.  Whisk well.  In a separate bowl combine melted/cooled butter, eggs, milk and vanilla, beat well.  Slowly add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.  Whisk gently or fold only until combined.  Don’t overmix.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle streusel over each muffin, gently pressing to secure streusel to batter.
  • Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin. Serve warm or at room temperature.  Muffins can be stored, in an airtight container, at room temperature for a couple of days.  Serve warm with butter and cinnamon sugar or peach jam.
