Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your muffin pan by greasing or lining it with paper liners.
  3. Make the crumb topping by mixing 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Add melted butter and combine until crumbly. Set aside.
  4. Whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Cream the softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar until creamy and light.
  6. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract.
  7. Mix in the sour cream and milk until just combined.
  8. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently with a spatula.
  9. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter.
  10. Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin.
  11. Bake for about 18-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  12. Cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Drizzle glaze made of powdered sugar and milk on top.

Notes

Use whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor or coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
