Cinnamon Streusel Muffins with Dulce de Leche

Makes 3 muffins

Ingredients
  

Cinnamon Streusel:

  • ¼ cup (31 grams) plain flour
  • tablespoons (18 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • tablespoons (21 grams) unsalted butter

Muffins:

  • tablespoons (35 grams) unsalted butter, diced
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • cup (80 grams) sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons (10ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg white (30 grams)
  • cup (83 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon (1 gram) ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons (60 grams) dulce de leche

Instructions

  • For cinnamon streusel: Add the flour, sugar, and cinnamon to a small bowl, and whisk to combine. Add the butter to a small saucepan, and heat over low until melted. Pour the butter into the flour mixture, and stir with a small spatula until a crumbly dough is formed. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and place 3 paper muffin liners into a muffin pan.
  • For muffins: Add the butter to a small saucepan, and heat over low until melted. Pour the butter into a small bowl with the sugar, and stir together. Add the sour cream and vegetable oil, and stir to combine. Add the egg white, and stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  • Make a well in the dry goods, and pour in the butter mixture. Stir together to form a batter; don’t worry if it’s a little lumpy, that’s fine.
  • Divide the batter between the muffin liners, and crumble the streusel atop the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes or until the muffins are browned at the edges and the tops spring back to a light touch. Remove from the pan, and set aside for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, use a chopstick to poke a hole in the middle of the muffins, wiggling around slightly to make a little space for the filling. Place the dulce de leche into a piping bag fitted with a small piping tip, and pipe about a tablespoon into each muffin. Dust the muffins with a little confectioners’ sugar. Best served on the day they are made.
