Ingredients

Streusel

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ⅝ cup all purpose flour
  • 6 Tablespoons salted butter cold

Muffins

  • ¾ cup salted butter room temperature
  • 5½ Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 5½ Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup sour cream

Instructions

Streusel

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, cinnamon, and flour.
  • Use a pastry blender or a fork to cut in butter. Set aside.

Muffins

  • Heat oven to 350°F/177℃.
  • Line a muffin tin with baking cups, or spray with baking spray. Set aside.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
  • Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • Stir in sour cream.
  • Mix in flour mixture.
  • Place 1½ Tablespoons batter in the bottom of each muffin cup.
  • Top with ½ Tablespoon streusel.
  • Add another 1½ Tablespoons batter to each muffin.
  • Top with ½ Tablespoon streusel.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes, until muffins are lightly browned and test done.

Notes

  • This cake batter is VERY thick! You will need to dampen your finger with water to tap down the batter to spread it into the muffin cup.
  • Use a cookie scoop to help easily portion the batter.
  • Bake times may vary depending on how your oven bakes. You can use a cake tester or a toothpick to see when the muffins are done!
  • If you don’t have cupcake papers, you can grease the muffin pan.
  • Be careful to not add TOO much streusel to the tops of these muffins.
