Ingredients

Streusel Topping

  • 5 tablespoons room temperature butter 75 grams
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 120 grams
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar 30 grams
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar 40 grams
  • pinch of salt

1 recipe 5 Spiced Apple Cider Doughnut batter (See recipe on 5 Spice Apple Cider Doughnut.)

    Instructions

    To make the streusel topping

    • Place all ingredients into a medium-sized bowl. Rub together with your hands until combined and butter chunks are the size of a pea.
    • Pour crumbly dough onto a lined sheet pan and bake for approximately 25 minutes (golden brown). Every 10 minutes, remove the pan and toss and turn the crumble so it bakes evenly.
    • When a nice golden brown color is achieved, remove from the oven and cool completely.
    • Process in a food processor until chunks are evenly sized or pour onto a cutting board and hand chop until the desired size.
    • Sprinkle over the tops of the glazed doughnuts before they set.

    To assemble the muffins

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line muffin tins with paper or foil cups.
    • Prepare the streusel topping ahead of time and have it ready to go.
    • Using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, portion the batter into muffin tins. Fill 80% of each muffin tin.
    • Sprinkle approximately 2 tablespoons of streusel topping on to each muffin.
    • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean
