Ingredients

Muffin Batter

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, room temperature
1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Cinnamon Sugar Filling

1/3 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Streusel Topping

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted melted butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Vanilla Glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons 2% or skim milk

Instructions

Muffin Batter

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, yogurt, buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold into liquid mixture until batter is just combined. Fill muffin cups halfway with batter and set aside for a moment.

Cinnamon Sugar Filling

In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle an even amount of cinnamon sugar over partially-filled muffin cups and top with remaining batter, filling cups to brim.

Streusel Topping

In a small bowl, combine all streusel ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over muffin batter, pressing lightly to adhere crumbs.
Bake muffins at 425F 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 375F and continue baking an additional 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean.
Cool muffins 20 minutes in pan, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Vanilla Glaze

In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and just enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency.
Drizzle glaze over cooled muffins and allow to set 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
