Ingredients
 
 

For Muffins

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream

For Streusel

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, and mix until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the streusel topping until crumbly.
  • Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each muffin cup about ⅔ full. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure your butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature. This helps create a smoother batter.
  • When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until they are incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins. It's okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.
  • If you love streusel topping be generous, but don't press it down too firmly. You want a crumbly, textured layer on top.
  • Add a layer of streusel in the middle of the muffin batter. After filling the muffin pan halfway, sprinkle streusel, then add more batter and top with another layer of streusel.
  • Storing: You can store them at room temperature for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
  • Freezing: Up to 2-3 months. Make sure to wrap them well in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and place them in a freezer-safe bag.
