Ingredients 

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup caramel chips

Streusel Topping

  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds slightly crushed
  • ¼ cup caramel chips
  • ¼ cup caramel or about 10 caramels unwrapped
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or vegetable oil, or line with paper muffin liners.
  • Prepare streusel topping and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • Combine sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs and vanilla in a large mixing bowl; beat until well blended. Add flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Mix in chips.
  • Divide batter evenly into 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle muffins with streusel topping.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool muffins for five minutes in the muffin pan before removing to a wire rack to cool.
  • Streusel Topping
  • In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and flour. Add butter and mix until mixture has a sandy texture. Add almonds and caramel chips if using, stir to combine.
  • Caramel Drizzle
  • In a small microwaveable bowl, heat caramel and milk, stirring occasionally, until caramel is melted and smooth.
  • Put melted caramel in a Ziploc bag, cut off one corner and drizzle caramel over the tops of the muffins.
