sweet muffins with cinnamon and cocoa streusel

These muffins are based on this Budapest Coffeecake Recipe from One Perfect Bite. I was intrigued by a coffeecake that had cocoa powder mixed in with it's cinnamon and brown sugar.

They came out very sweet and spongey, a lot more like a cupcake than a breakfast muffin. To up the sugar to extreme values, my friends also took to drizzling honey all over them. Whatever floats your muffin boat, mates.

Budapest Coffeecake Muffins
Based on One Perfect Bite's Budapest Coffeecake and Betty Crocker's Streusel Coffeecake

2 1/4 C all purpose flour
1 C sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 C milk
2 egg
1/3 C butter, softened

3/4 C brown sugar
2 Tb cocoa
1 Tb cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp allspice

Beat the batter ingredients together for 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, cocoa, and spices.

In greased or paper-lined muffin cups, ladle in one spoonful of batter. Top with 1- 1/2 tsp filling. Repeat four times (you should have three layers of filling and also a topping of cinnamon-cocoa sugar).

Bake at 350 for 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the muffins comes out clean and dry.
