Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle a generous amount of the streusel topping over the batter in each muffin cup.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a taller dome, ensure your oven is fully preheated and avoid opening the oven door during the first 15 minutes of baking.
  • These muffins freeze well. Let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
  • You can add a simple glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and a little milk or lemon juice, then drizzling it over the cooled muffins.
