Test Kitchen Approved

When I was 13, these muffins won a blue ribbon at our state fair. The coffee really enhances the cinnamon flavor, making these tender treats quite delicious.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg, room temperature
1/3 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1-1/4 teaspoons instant espresso powder
CRUMB TOPPING:
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
Pinch ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons cold butter

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Whisk the egg, milk, butter and espresso powder until espresso powder is dissolved. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
For topping, combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon over each muffin.
Bake at 400° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve warm.
