  • In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  • Gently mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
  • Prepare streusel topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter until crumbly.
  • Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full with batter.
