Author: Amanda Smallwood

Ingredients

For the Streusel (you'll use this for the middle of the muffins and for the crumbly topping)

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • ⅛ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Muffins

  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup sour cream at room temperature
  • ½ cup buttermilk at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ cup cinnamon chips

For the Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoon milk

Instructions

For the Streusel (you'll use this for the middle of the muffins and for the crumbly topping)

  • Combine the softened butter, flour, sugars and cinnamon Mix with a fork until crumbly and well combined. Save for when you are putting the muffin batter together.

For the Muffin Batter

  • Preheat oven to 425°. In a small mixing bowl melt the butter. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • Line your muffin pan (12 cups) with cupcake wrappers.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • In a large measuring cup, combine the cooled butter, sour cream, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be sure not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the cinnamon chips.
  • Use a large cookie scoop to add batter to the muffin pan. Fill each muffin cup half way.
  • Place a teaspoon of the streusel on the first scoop of muffin batter. Top with another scoop of batter.
  • Place a spoonful of streusel topping on the top of each muffin. Press down just a little bit so that the streusel sticks to the batter.
  • Bake muffins at 425° for 5 minutes. Lower the temperature to 375° and bake for an additional 16-18 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the middles are baked through.
  • Remove muffins from the oven and allow the muffins to cool.

For the Vanilla Glaze

  • Combine the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk in a measuring cup. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle vanilla glaze over muffins and enjoy.
