Cinnamon Chip Muffins

2 tablespoons salted butter*melted

½ cup brown sugarpacked

4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

¼ cup salted butter*melted

¼ cup neutral flavoured cooking oil

⅔ cup white sugar

¼ cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

½ cup sour cream

½ cup milk

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

Begin by making the cinnamon sugar chips to add to the batter. Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Spread out into an even layer on a small pan lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Place the pan in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to solidify.

Preheat the oven to 400℉. Prepare muffin tins with parchment paper muffin liners or spray with non-stick spray

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, white sugar, and brown sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and milk, and continue whisking until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the bowl of combined wet ingredients and whisk just until no streaks of flour remain.

Chop the chilled cinnamon sugar mixture into small pieces and gently fold into the muffin batter. (Reserve a little bit of the cinnamon chips for topping the muffins.) Distribute the batter evenly between 15 muffin liners, filling each liner almost to the top with batter. Crumble the reserved cinnamon chips on top.

Bake, one pan at a time, in a 400℉ oven for 5 minutes before reducing the temperature to 350℉ for another 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Brown Sugar Chip Perfection 🍫
Chill your homemade brown sugar cinnamon chips in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before folding into batter to prevent them from melting and dispersing unevenly throughout the muffins.
Sour Cream Substitution Secret 🥛
Sour cream adds tanginess and moisture that keeps these muffins tender for days—don't skip it or substitute with plain yogurt, as the acidity is crucial for the perfect crumb structure.
Cinnamon Distribution Technique 🌀
Reserve a teaspoon of ground cinnamon mixed with a pinch of brown sugar and sprinkle it on top of each muffin before baking to create a flavorful, caramelized cinnamon crust.
Room Temperature Ingredients Method 🌡️
Allow eggs, milk, and sour cream to reach room temperature before mixing to ensure even emulsification and a lighter, fluffier muffin crumb without overmixing.
Buttered Muffin Tin Strategy 🧈
Brush melted salted butter on the edges and tops of muffin cups rather than using liners—this creates golden, crispy edges that perfectly complement the moist, tender center.
