How to Make Streusel Topping

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (50g) rolled oats, 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 cup (113g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  3. Pulse the mixture in the food processor until it resembles coarse crumbs. Do not over-process; you want some larger pieces for texture.
  4. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over your favorite coffee cake or crumb cake.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cake is cooked through.
