Plum Muffins With Almond Streusel Recipes

PLUM MUFFINS WITH ALMOND STREUSEL

Steps:

• Add dry streusel ingredients (flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and almonds) to a medium bowl. Add in the pieces of butter and rub in by hand or with two forks, until mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs.
• Set streusel aside in the fridge while making the muffins.
• Preheat oven to 375° F and line a 12 cup muffin tray with paper liners or baking spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• Using a pastry cutter or 2 forks, cut in the 1/2 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This takes about 1 minutes to thoroughly add in the butter.
• Stir in the beaten egg, milk, and vanilla until incorporated and a thick batter forms.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chopped plums until just mixed.
• Spoon batter into muffin trays, filling each 2/3 full. Top each with a generous portion of the streusel topping, concentrating on the center of the muffin top.
• Bake muffins for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and tops spring back when pressed.
• Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up 3 days. Or freeze, wrapped in parchment and/or wax paper, for up to 1 month.
