Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease it generously.
2. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon to make the cinnamon-sugar topping. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
6. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
7. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each muffin top generously.
8. Bake for 17–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
10. Optional: While warm, brush the tops with melted butter and dip in additional cinnamon-sugar.
Notes
For best texture, allow your batter to rest for 15–20 minutes before baking.
Use full-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt to keep the muffins moist and rich.
These muffins are best enjoyed warm, especially with an extra brush of melted butter and cinnamon-sugar on top.
