Chai Coffee Cake Muffins

Chai Coffee Cake Muffins – A flavorful spin on a classic breakfast favorite. Coffee cake muffins flavored with chai spices and topped with a delicious crumb topping!

Welcome to #BrunchWeek! I’m so excited to be participating in my second year and there are some great recipes lined up this week! Make sure you read to the bottom to check out all of the other amazing recipes today plus there is a giveaway going on.  For more info, click HERE and you can enter below!

For my second recipe this week, I decided to make chai coffee cake muffins! Now, these little bite-sized breakfast treats are a fun cross between a chai tea latte and coffee cake.  They have all of the flavors that a chai tea latte has but with the streusel crumb topping of a coffee cake!

Make sure to check out my other recipes from Brunch Week this year – Everything Bagel Dip and Sparkling Lavender Lemonade.

Now, these muffins don’t use any chai tea leaves in them, they are made with just chai spices.  It may look like a long list of spices in the recipe but they are all probably in your pantry already or can be skipped if you don’t have 1-2.  You can also make these muffins ahead of time for brunch.  I usually make them the day before and just warm them up right before serving.
