Coffee Cake Muffins fromCottage Living (12/2007)
Makes: 12 Muffins
Prep: 10 Mins
Bake: 20 Mins
Cool : 10 Mins
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 t ground cinnamon, divided
14 T unsalted butter, cut into pieces, softened and divided
1 T baking powder
1/2 t kosher salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature (remove from fridge + set in bowl for 30 mins)
3/4 cup milk
1/2 t vanilla extract
powdered sugar (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a muffin pan with paper baking cups.
2. Combine 1/2 cup flour, light brown sugar, and 1/2 t cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in 4 T butter with a pastry blender until streusel is crumbly; set aside.
3. Sift together remaining 2 cups of flour, remaining 1 t cinnamon, baking powder and kosher salt in a medium bowl. Mix sugar and remaining 10 T butter in a separate bowl at a medium speed with an electric mixer until well combined. Beat eggs, one at a time, into butter mixture until blended. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, mixing until smooth. Add vanilla, and mix well.
4. Divide batter evenly among baking cups, filling about 3/4 full. Sprinkle evenly with reserved streusel topping.
5. Bake at 350 for 20-25 mins or until springy and wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 mins on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

You included Prep Time, Cook Time and Cool Time but you didn't include Stuffing Your Mouth Full of These Yummy Muffins Time. Haha - Thanks for the recipe! Guess what I'm making this weekend??

Thank you so much for doing the daily album for us, Ali. It is such a beautiful thing and gives me so many ideas for things I can do. I am still reading your book, bits at a time, and I am your newest fan. I am gradually switching over from digital scrapping to hybrid scrapping and I found you through someone else's blog. Now I can't seem to find enough of your stuff to read. I have ordered your other books through the CK sale and can't wait for them to get here. Is a fourth book underway?

It is so wonderful that so many of us are getting into the holiday spirit and sharing so much cool stuff. I am writing down 10 things I'm grateful for every day and then I will make a piece of art with it later. So far it amazes me that just 10 things are so easy to think of. I realize my life is much more amazing that I had actually thought before... mad eh? Cool. LOVE your album. So exciting to see snippets posted regularly, and I bet you are glad the prep is out of the way and just filling in the fun stuff is all that is needed. I like that idea a lot.

I just tore out that recipe from Cottage Living last night. Can't wait to try it out. Come by my blog sometime. I'm posting a new recipe and Christmas tip each day until Christmas. I even borrowed your felt/button Christmas tree idea to share with my readers. Of course, I gave you total creative credit :)

Love the album...just wondering what you are using for the adhesive? I have my album pages..the numbers are ready, but I haven't attached anything..fear of the unknown. Can you give me some hints or do you just hide the adhesive with another item on the backside? It's hard to tell from teh photos
