Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (for swirl)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for swirl)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar (for streusel)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for streusel)
  • 3 tbsp cold unsalted butter

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup brown sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon for the swirl. In another bowl, combine ½ cup flour, ⅓ cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon, then cut in 3 tbsp cold butter until crumbly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter, sour cream, milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Fold wet ingredients into dry until just combined. Spoon half the batter into a greased 12-cup muffin tin, sprinkle the swirl on top, then cover with remaining batter.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Press streusel onto each muffin top and bake 18 to 20 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack and serve warm.

Notes

Let the muffins rest in the pan for the full 5 minutes before moving them; the streusel sets as it cools and will stick to the liner if you rush it.
