Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup apricot jam
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for crumb topping)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and milk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the muffin batter into each muffin cup. Add about 1 teaspoon of apricot jam in the center, then top with another tablespoon of muffin batter.
- Generously sprinkle the crumb topping over each muffin.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
- For longer storage, freeze muffins wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
