Ingredients

⅓ cup sugar
⅓ cup plus 8 teaspoons all-purpose flour
8 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1 large egg
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Greek yogurt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a muffin pan with 4 to 5 liners or spray the muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Using a food processor, pulse together ⅓ cup sugar, 8 teaspoons all-purpose flour, and 4 teaspoons brown sugar until combined.
Remove 2 tablespoons of the mixture and place into a small bowl and set aside.
To the two tablespoons that you removed whisk in 4 teaspoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until combined, set aside.
To the mixture left in the food processor, add in ⅓ cup all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pulse until combined.
Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
Add the egg, Greek yogurt, and continue to pulse until the mixture is combined making sure to stop and scrape the sides of the food processor as necessary.
Pour a generous tablespoon of the muffin mixture into each of the muffin liners, top with a tablespoon of the cinnamon mixture, and top with the remaining muffin mixture divided evenly. If you have any of the cinnamon mixture left sprinkle it on top.
Place the muffins in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack prior to serving.
