But first …

I would love to share my morning life and the blogging routines that need to be done before the cooking begins.

I get up out of bed and go directly to the kitchen. No stopping for anything. Not only to the kitchen but to the Keurig. I flip it on, pick up my ‘coffee pod’ and fill it with my favorite coffee of the day.

It is so inexpensive when you can go this way with coffee grounds and the pod. Fill it up to the line, drop it in its slot, push a button and voila, I am set.

No breakfast yet, not awake. Off to the computer.

There is quite a bit of technological and social work behind a blog. The morning is when I relax with my coffee, all by myself, sit and look at pretty food photos and inventive recipes.

I pin, tweet, yum, share, heart, flip, tumble and stumble. These are actual actions! I also find a lot of inspiration during this time. Notes are being made.

Let me show you a photo of another delicious muffin that is another favorite on the blog. It helps the flow of the page (more computer geek talk)  This pics of Cinnamon Apple Crisp Muffins.

I am an absolute computer geek. My first job was as a computer operator and I took computer language in college. But … I insist on keeping my computer time to 2 hours in the morning.

Relaxing, sipping, reading and commenting. All of a sudden an hour is gone and so is my coffee. Back to my kitchen for a second cup and a little bite to eat. Back to the computer.

After catching up on my email, there are photos to edit and a bit of writing to do for my next post.

The post doesn’t get done all at once because I like to have a fresh look at my writing – every day until it is posted for you.

Now … let’s start getting inventive in the kitchen. Are you ready for some Cinnamon Streusel Mini Muffins?

Ingredients

Muffins:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free milk I used Coconutmilk
  • 1 tablespoon flax meal egg - that is 1 flax seed meal and 3 Tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons dairy-free butter, melted

Streusel:

  • 1/4 cup dairy-free butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

  • Lightly oil 12 mini muffins tins/silicone cups. Silicone mini muffins cups work wonderfully for keeping a smooth and easily removable muffin.
  • Muffins:
  • Mix the flax seed meal egg and set aside for about 5 minutes to gel a bit.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a small bowl mix the coconut milk, melted vegan butter and mixed flax seed egg until well blended. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Do not over mix.
  • Divide batter into muffin cups.
  • Streusel:
  • Cream the butter and add the sugars and mix well.
  • Add the flour and spices.
  • Mix well.
  • Sprinkle all over each muffin.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.

IF FREEZING:

Vegan Mini Muffins freeze beautifully. They will keep in the fridge for about a week and in the freezer for 6 months.

 

TO DEFROST:

The muffins take no time to defrost so you can just take them out of the freezer and be enjoying them in about a half an hour. You could also zap them in the microwave for a few seconds. Like about 15 seconds. Be careful the streusel will be burning hot.

 

I’m not sure if you gravitated towards this recipe because of the cinnamon streusel or the mini muffins but let me try and satisfy some more of your cravings.

Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

Cinnamon Sugar Cookies lined up back to back in a red and white polka dot bowl. Golden cookies sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

And last but definitely not least –  Cinnamon Cookie Biscuits!

Cinnamon Cookie Biscuits are little fat biscuits with a cinnamon sugar flare. Stacked on a white plate with one open and dolloped with strawberry jam.

    OH how Love streusel topped goodies. These look delish.

    The texture on that crumb topping looks like perfection! I would have a hard time not eating six at once, lol!

    I wish these were my breakfast right now! They look delicious and especially with a nice cup of coffee.

    Oh boy, do I love streusel. This looks excellent!

    Double the recipe would work Lizzy but I’m not sure if it would make the whole 12 muffins. Not sure about the volume of the muffin tins. You may only get 10. Give it a try though. Yes, I would also say bake for 20 to 25 minutes which is double.

  6. Lizzy

    December 06, 2017 at 6:20 pm

    to make 12 regular size muffins would I need to double the recipe as well as the cook time?

    Just regular coconut milk Dawn. I’ll change the recipe and make it clearer. Thanks!

  8. Dawn

    March 08, 2017 at 8:03 am

    Is the coconut milk full fat from the can or just regular coconut milk or any other non dairy milk?
    Thanks

    Yes, they will come out in the larger silicone pan Melissa but the cook time will be different. I would guess they would need about 15 minutes. If you use the mini pans, I would lightly oil them. Hope this helps.

    These look so good. I have silicone cups but they’re regular sized. I do have a mini muffin tin. Will they come out of an oiled tin easily or is it better to just make 6 regular muffins in the silicone? I look forward to making these. Thanks for the recipe 🙂

    Yes Christine you sure can. I have done this before also. Thanks for your interest 🙂

    Fantastic Tea! Thanks for letting me know. Someone else made them full size and put a picture on Instagram. They looked awesome and your sound like they turned out as bigger muffins too. 🙂

    Made these for brunch today and they are awesome!!! Not too sweet, even with the streusel. I don’t have a mini muffin pan but I got six regular sized muffins from the recipe. Thank you!!

    Awesome, thank you! <3

  18. Ginny McMeans

    Yes Aimee! That is no problem and any egg replacer would work. 🙂

  19. Aimee B.

    December 22, 2014 at 3:22 pm

    These look beautiful! Do you think I could get away with Ener-G egg replacer instead of flax? It’s all I have on hand. 🙂

    Your quiet mornings sound so heavenly! I can’t even tell you the chaos that is my house from 6-8am. I am definitely not able to sit quietly at my computer when I wake up! I do have coffee ASAP though. Next time I’m going to try to have one of these muffins too!

  28. Michelle

    I have to limit my computer time, too…it’s hard some days! I love that these muffins are mini…just enough to have a taste without overindulging.

    Gorgeous muffins, Ginny! And my mornings always start with a big cup of coffee as well! 🙂

    Oh my gosh, these sound delicious. I have to make a few dozen muffins for the swim team next week, and these have to part of them!

    that sounds A LOT like my morning. I just have to get up super early to have it as “alone” time. I don’t do anything until the keurig has given me a cup! Then I “relax” by the computer doing blogger tasks until the kids wake up and the craziness starts.

  35. Amy @ A Healthy Life For Me

    December 20, 2014 at 6:40 am

    I could take one of these muffins..or two… or three right about now.

  36. Bea

    December 19, 2014 at 10:40 pm

    It sounds like you got your morning routine down pat and those mini muffins must be a great addition to the first and second cup coffee. Great!!!

  37. Stephanie

    December 19, 2014 at 5:07 pm

    Looks like a delicious way to start the day! Thanks for sharing that recipe, and your morning routine! #client

    I had no idea you were a computer operator. I totally get needing more coffee especially when working at the computer all day for hours!

    What wonderful comfort food! I love little muffins!

    That looks like the perfect streusel topping! Yummy!

    December 19, 2014 at 10:21 am

    Now that’s comfort food for me! :)) The streusel topping just takes it over the top. Gorgeous muffins!!
    AND! I’d LOVE to have 2 hours in the morning with a dozen of them! :)))

    I could easily start my day with a few of these

  43. Ginny McMeans

    December 19, 2014 at 8:59 am

    Haha! Yes, vegan butter. Thanks for the heads up and I fixed it. Not full fat coconut milk in the can and you can use any non dairy milk that you like.
