Streusel Instructions
In a medium sized bowl mix all ingredients except for the butter using a fork.
Add in cubes of butter and mix with fork, pushing down to create crumbles. Mix altogether until it is all a crumbly texture.
Set aside until assembling muffins.
Muffin Instructions
In your stand mixer (or a large bowl) with your paddle attachment, mix your sugar, butter, and oil. Whip for about 2-3 minutes. Add in eggs one and a time. Add in vanilla.
In a separate large bowl, mix your dry ingredients until combined.
On a low speed, slowly add half the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until fully incorporated. Add in heavy cream until incorporated. Add remaining dry ingredients. Do not over mix, but make sure fully incorporated.
Preheat oven to 375° F. Prepare your muffin pan with oil or paper liners*.
Scoop half of the batter into each of the 12 muffin/cupcake wells (about 1 ½ tablespoon per muffin well). Top with just a little, about 1-2 tsp, streusel. Fill the muffin wells with remaining batter (about 1 ½ Tbsp). Then top with remaining streusel, about 2 tablespoon each (it seems like a lot, but it will cover the entire muffin top this way). Slightly push the topping into the muffin batter with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Once the oven is ready, place in the oven and bake for 9 minutes at 375° F. Reduce heat to 350° and cook for another 11-13 minutes. Test with a toothpick until it comes out clean.
Remove and allow to cool. Enjoy.
Notes
- I prefer to use tulip baking cups to contain everything. Then keep on or remove to serve!
- Make sure you use room temperature on items where noted. Tips for this in the blog post.
- Use all the streusel. It seems like a lot, but it really does spread out across the cooked muffin.
