Ingredients

Muffins

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (219g)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Streusel

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  • In bowl of mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until combined, about 2-3 minutes. Add in the eggs, sour cream, milk and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until the texture is uniform. Add in the dry ingredients, folding with a spatula until just combined.
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan, filling them all the way to the top.
  • Make the streusel topping by mixing together the flour, sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and mix until combined. Sprinkle each muffin generously with the streusel topping.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F and then reduce heat to 350°F. Continue to bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes in pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

  • All refrigerated items should be at room temperature, which helps the batter mix easily and evenly
  • Use an ice cream scoop to get an even amount of batter in each muffin tin.
  • You'll know the muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
