For the Muffins
- 2 large Eggs, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Canola Oil
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
- 1/2 cup Biscoff Spread
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Biscoff Cookies, optional, crushed
For the Streusel Topping
- 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Biscoff Spread
For the Drizzle (Optional)
- Prepare the Streusel: Melt 1/4 cup Biscoff spread in a microwave-safe bowl until gooey, then allow it to cool completely. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir the cooled Biscoff spread into the dry ingredients until crumbly. Refrigerate the streusel mixture to firm up while preparing the batter.
- Make the Muffin Batter: Melt 1/2 cup Biscoff spread again for about 30 seconds. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tray with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk the 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until bubbly, then mix in 3/4 cup brown sugar until fluffy. Add 1/2 cup canola oil, 1/2 cup buttermilk, and the melted Biscoff spread; mix until combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients and Combine: Optionally fold in the crushed Biscoff cookies. In another bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Retrieve the chilled streusel topping and crumble it over each muffin generously.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes or until the muffin tops turn golden brown and spring back lightly when touched. Cool the muffins in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Add Optional Drizzle: If desired, melt an additional 1/4 cup Biscoff spread until liquid and drizzle over the cooled or warm muffins to add an extra layer of sweetness and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Store muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months to maintain freshness.
- Allow refrigerated batter and streusel to come back to room temperature before baking for best texture.
- Room temperature eggs and buttermilk ensure better muffin texture and fluffiness.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense, tough muffins.
- You may sprinkle additional cinnamon on top for extra aroma.
- For gluten-free adaptation, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.
- For vegan variation, replace eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water and use plant-based milk instead of buttermilk.
