Ingredients
Muffin Batter
Crumble Topping
Icing
Steps
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220 °C) (220°C (425 °F)) and line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups.
Make the crumble topping first: In a small bowl, mix together 6 tbsp cold butter, 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp all-purpose flour, and 2 tsp cinnamon until combined and crumbly. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 tbsp melted browned butter, 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Whisk well until combined.
Add 1 egg to the sugar mixture and whisk again until smooth.
Add 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste or extract and mix to incorporate.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/3 cups flour, 3/4 tsp baking powder, 1/8 tsp baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
Pour half of the dry flour mixture into the wet sugar mixture. Add half of the 1/2 cup chai concentrate and mix. Repeat with the remaining flour and chai concentrate, alternating until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them evenly.
Top each muffin generously with the prepared crumble mixture.
Bake at 425°F (220 °C) (220°C (425 °F)) for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven door, reduce the heat to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)) and continue baking for 15 minutes.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
While the muffins cool, prepare the icing: Mix together 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tbsp chai concentrate, 1 tbsp browned butter, 1/4 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon to create a smooth glaze.
Drizzle the icing over the cooled muffins before serving.
Notes
The recipe uses a high-heat start (425°F) to help the muffins rise quickly for a tall dome, then lowers the temperature to cook the centers without burning the tops.
