Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2
|
Line a 12-cavity muffin pan with muffin/cupcake liners.
3
|
In large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until smooth and combined, 1-2 minutes.
4
|
Add the eggs and beat for a minute longer, until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add the sour cream and milk. Continue to beat until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
5
|
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Beat the mixture on medium-low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until just combined. Do not over-mix.
6
|
To make the streusel, place the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a fork to combine. Drizzle the melted butter into the bowl, and mix with the fork until the mixture forms large crumbs.
7
|
Fill each muffin liner approximately 1/3 full with muffin batter. Crumble a scant tablespoon of streusel into each muffin cup. Divide the remaining batter into the muffin cups. Sprinkle the muffins with the remaining streusel.
8
|
Bake the muffins on middle rack of oven for 5 minutes.
9
|
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Continue baking until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 14-16 minutes.
10
|
Check to see that muffins are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
11
|
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing and serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for 3 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Room Temperature Magic 🌡️Ensure all dairy ingredients like eggs, butter, and sour cream are at room temperature for a smoother, more evenly mixed batter that results in lighter, fluffier muffins.
- Streusel Layering Technique 🍰Create a perfect streusel swirl by adding a layer of streusel in the middle of the muffin batter before topping, ensuring cinnamon flavor in every bite.
- Prevent Sinking Streusel 🧁Coat the streusel topping lightly in a tablespoon of flour to prevent it from sinking into the muffin during baking.
- Moisture Mastery 💧The sour cream in this recipe is key to creating ultra-moist muffins - don't substitute with low-fat alternatives for the best texture.
- Muffin Pan Prep 🧊For easy removal, use parchment paper liners or generously grease the muffin tin with butter, ensuring your muffins come out perfectly intact.
