Vanilla Muffins with Cinnamon Crumb Topping

December 21, 2010 by Laura 226 Comments

I wanted something cinnamony for our Christmas Brunch (the invented word is pronounced:  sin-uh-money;  not to worry, cinnamony has nothing to do with sin or money, it’s all about the smell and taste of Christmas). I also wanted to use my homemade vanilla. So I played just a little bit and came up with Vanilla Muffins with Cinnamon Crumb Topping. I made mine with a mini muffin tin, but you can use a regular sized muffin tin instead if you prefer.

These muffins are very simple to throw together and will make your house smell just like Christmas while they’re baking. That’s because they’re cinnamony. :)

Vanilla Muffins Yum

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup sucanat (you can use brown sugar if you want)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
3/4 cup milk

Cinnamon Crumb Topping

6 T. sucanat/rapadura (dehydrated cane sugar juice) or brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 T. butter, softened

Stir together flour, sucanat, baking powder and sea salt. Add egg, vanilla, butter and milk. Mix until ingredients are combined. Scoop into paper lined muffin tins. (24 mini muffins or 12 regular sized muffins)  Mix together Cinnamon Crumb Topping ingredients and sprinkle on top of each muffin. Bake in a 400° oven for 15 minutes (mini muffins) or 20 minutes (regular sized muffins).

Vanilla Muffins with Cinnamon Crumb Topping

These Vanilla Muffins with Cinnamon Crumb Topping go perfectly with Easy Breakfast Casserole. I also think the cinnamony-ness would taste great with Warm Vanilla Soother.

Up next during our Christmas Brunch:  a great giveaway from Tropical Traditions. Then, to add to our cinnamony pleasure…Gingerbread Cookies. Not only are they cinnamony…they’re gingerlicious. And full of molassessness.

You never knew our Christmas Brunch would be so full of new vocabulary words did you?

    This look so delicious! I’ve had quite a bit of trouble with your baked goods recipes (think “rock-like”) when I make them (and I’m not an inexperienced baker…just need to sit down and pinpoint what the difference is between your recipes and what I normally make). It puzzles me like crazy since I’m in central IL, so there shouldn’t be an elevation difference. I’m going to try once more, though…

    I just gained 5 pounds looking at those pictures. I adore Cinnamon (and ginger)! I might sit these ones out then ;) I’ve made NO treats this season as the hubsters and I are trying to be healthier and I have a slight addiction to sugar. :) Maybe next year after I run my marathon? I certainly could justify some treats then! :)

    These look really yummy and I am sure my family will love them. I am wondering however, you said you used your homemade vanilla in the recipe. When the recipe says to use 1 tsp. is that of the homemade or do we use only 1/2 homemade vanilla?
    thanks for the clarification. I am sure a bit extra vanilla wouldn’t hurt though :)

    Reply
    • Krista says

      December 22, 2010 at 1:32 pm

      From what experimenting I’ve done with some of Laura’s other recipes, you could use either brown or white sugar as a replacement for sucanat. It all depends on the intended use. In this case, I’d probably use white for the muffins and brown for the crumb topping. HTH!

    clicked on to the “comments” tab again on
    accident, cuz I’m getting the replies that
    you get. How can I undue this so that I
    don’t keep bugging you about it? Hmmmmm

    As far as the soaking thing goes, NT does
    make it sound like it has to be in a warm
    place…….& you’re supposed to use warm
    liquids, too, sooooooo I was wondering
    what they were thinking as far as where
    to do this at. I have a friend who uses
    her oven light to keep things “warm”, but
    I don’t have that option. I just don’t
    want to bother in taking this extra step
    of “soaking” if it’s not “getting the job
    done” with the phytates by just leaving it
    on the counter, overnight. How could I get a hold of Sally (from NT) to find out? Hmmmmmm

    Thanks!! Hope you enjoyed your Super Bowl

    These were excellent! My husband requested that the next I make these to use our organic all purpose flour instead of the whole wheat flour. He still liked them though. My only problem was though that my muffin mixture didn’t go far enough. I have a jumbo muffin pan and it didn’t fill all six like it usually does on the blueberry muffins. Hmmm.. They were still VERY yummy though! Thanks for the recipe!

The kids love them, of course, and they’re very filling. I like how dense and satisfying they are. Very nice rounded shape, too — they don’t just ooze into flat tops.

No wonder I am always drawn back to your site!! I love that everything is sooooooo simple! Thank you so much and have a Jesus-filled weekend!!!
