Ingredients

Units Scale

For the muffins:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the streusel topping:

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Make streusel: Combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Sprinkle each with streusel topping.
  6. Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • These muffins freeze well and reheat nicely in the microwave.
  • Enhance with chopped nuts or a glaze for extra bakery appeal.
