When it comes to breakfast, there's nothing quite like starting your day with a warm, freshly - baked treat. And if you're a coffee lover, these Vietnamese - inspired jumbo muffins are about to become your new favorite morning indulgence. Drawing inspiration from the rich and bold flavors of Vietnamese coffee, these muffins infuse the essence of coffee throughout every bite, from the batter to the streusel and even the sweetened condensed milk glaze.

The journey of creating these muffins begins with the batter. Coffee isn't just an afterthought here; it's a star ingredient. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the kitchen as you incorporate it into the mix. The batter is a harmonious blend of all - purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. But it's the addition of that velvety coffee that gives these muffins their distinct character. The coffee not only adds a deep, rich flavor but also helps to keep the muffins moist and tender.

To make the batter, start by sifting the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. This step ensures that the flour is light and airy, and all the other dry components are evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, and the brewed coffee. The melted butter adds a luxurious richness, while the eggs act as a binder. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together. It's important not to over - mix; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly acceptable. Over - mixing can lead to tough muffins, and we want our Vietnamese - inspired jumbo muffins to be light and fluffy.

Now, let's talk about the streusel. This is where the extra crunch and coffee flavor come in. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and a bit of cinnamon. The cinnamon adds a warm, spicy note that complements the coffee beautifully. Then, cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle some coffee granules into the streusel for an extra caffeine kick. This streusel topping will not only add a delicious texture but also enhance the overall coffee - forward flavor of the muffins.

Once the batter is ready and the streusel is prepared, it's time to assemble the muffins. Line a muffin tin with large muffin cups. These are jumbo muffins, after all, so they need plenty of space to rise. Divide the batter evenly among the cups, filling them about three - quarters full. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of the streusel topping over each muffin. The streusel will melt slightly during baking, creating a caramelized, crunchy layer on top.

Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at the recommended temperature. As they bake, the kitchen will be filled with the irresistible aroma of coffee and freshly baked goods. Keep an eye on them; you'll know they're done when a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

But the fun doesn't stop there. The final touch is the sweetened condensed milk glaze. In a small saucepan, heat sweetened condensed milk and a bit more brewed coffee over low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well - combined. The sweetened condensed milk adds a thick, creamy sweetness that perfectly balances the bitterness of the coffee. Drizzle this luscious glaze over the cooled muffins, and watch as it seeps into the crevices and adds an extra layer of decadence.

These Vietnamese - inspired jumbo muffins are not just a breakfast item; they're a culinary experience. Whether you enjoy them with a cup of your favorite coffee on a lazy Sunday morning or pack them for a quick and energizing breakfast on the go, they're sure to satisfy your taste buds. So, roll up your sleeves, fire up the oven, and embark on this delicious coffee - filled adventure.
