A delightful blend of buttery goodness and sweet flavor, these muffins have a tender crumb and are perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Add-ins of your choice (e.g., chocolate chips or fruits)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (for crumb topping)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for crumb topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for crumb topping)
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a muffin pan by greasing it or lining it with muffin liners.
  2. Mix the crumb topping ingredients: brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and flour until it resembles crumbles. Set aside.
  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using) in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth in a separate bowl.
  5. Add the sour cream (or yogurt), eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined.
  7. Fold in your choice of add-ins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  8. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter and sprinkle the crumb topping on each muffin if desired.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes at 425°F, then lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 15 to 18 minutes.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra moist muffins, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Store in an airtight container for up to three days.
