Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar (optional)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line muffin pans with liners to make removal easier.
  2. Mix together the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and melted butter to create the crumb topping. Set aside.
  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until creamy and light in color.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  6. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Add 2 tablespoons of milk to achieve a smooth batter.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter using a spoon or an ice cream scoop for even portions.
  8. Top each muffin with the crumb mixture, pressing it down slightly to adhere for that signature crunch.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an optional glaze, mix confectioners’ sugar with milk and vanilla extract.
