Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter (cubed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream

Streusel Topping

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Prepare Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients together until they form a crumbly streusel texture.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cubed butter (softened), eggs, and sour cream until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, stir the flour, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding until just blended. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender muffin texture.
  6. Fill Muffin Liners and Add Streusel: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously on each muffin for a crunchy finish.
  7. Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature eggs and butter so they incorporate more smoothly.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a slightly tangier flavor and added protein.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Feel free to add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for variation.
  • These muffins freeze well; store them in an airtight container and thaw at room temperature before serving.
