Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 4 Large Eggs
- ¾ cup Canola Oil
- 6 tbsp Butter melted
- ¾ cup Honey
- ½ cup Milk or as needed
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 ½ tsp Baking Powder
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
- ¼ cup Apricots chopped, dried
Coffee Swirl
- 1 tbsp Coffee Granules instant
- 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 3 tbsp Sugar powdered
Crumble Topping
- ⅔ cup All-Purpose Flour
- 4 tbsp Sugar packed, brown
- ¼ tsp Cinnamon ground
- ¼ tsp Baking Powder
- 4 tbsp Butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). This ensures the muffins bake evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, canola oil, melted butter, honey, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough muffins.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the instant coffee granules, unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered sugar for the coffee swirl. Set aside.
- In another small bowl, prepare the crumble topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and melted butter. Use a fork to mix until the mixture is crumbly.
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with baking spray or line with paper liners. This will prevent the muffins from sticking.
- Fill each muffin cup about halfway with the batter. Add a spoonful of the coffee swirl mixture to the center of each muffin. Top with the remaining batter, filling each cup almost to the top.
- Sprinkle each muffin generously with the crumble topping.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with honey before serving, if desired.
