Step 1
In a skillet or a sauce pan, add ½ cup cubed butter. Let it melt over a medium heat and then cook for about 5 minutes until it gets amber in color and produces medium brown bits. Make sure you constantly stir, so it doesn’t burn.
Step 2
Then transfer the browned butter with the browned bits into a bowl. You can cool it off on the counter for about 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients (2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, and ¼ tsp salt). Whisk and set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, add cooled off browned butter and 1 cup granulated sugar. Whisk well until incorporated.
Step 5
Then add 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk again until well incorporated.
Step 6
Add dry ingredients to the wet ones, and using a spatula, fold it in. Set aside.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, whisk 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Pour in 1/3 cup melted butter and stir with a fork until well combined with crumbs.
Step 8
Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
Step 9
Place cupcake liners into the muffin tin. Divide the batter between 12 liners and top them with streusel topping.
Step 10
Bake at 425˚F for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 ˚F and continue baking for another 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick, inserted in the center comes out clean.
