This streusel pairs toasted black sesame seeds with brown sugar and butter for a crumbly, nutty topping that bakes into crisp clusters. Scatter it over muffins, coffee cake, or fruit crisps for a deep, roasted flavor and satisfying crunch. It comes together quickly in one bowl with no special equipment needed.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup black sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Method

  1. Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan often, until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, toasted sesame seeds, cinnamon, and salt.

  3. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until the mixture forms small, evenly moistened clumps.

  4. Pinch the mixture with your fingers to form larger pea-sized to marble-sized crumbs, distributing them evenly across the bowl.

  5. Use immediately by scattering over muffins, coffee cake, or fruit crisp before baking, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week until ready to use.
