Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray or line it with cupcake liners.
2. Make the streusel: in a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter, then work in the flour with a fork just until combined, leaving large crumbles. Set aside or refrigerate.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon (if using).
4. Using a mixer with a paddle, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar on high for about 3 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the sour cream, eggs and vanilla; beat on medium for 1 minute, then on high until combined, scraping the bowl again.
5. On low speed, add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until almost combined. Add the milk and mix on low until combined. Fold in your add-ins; the batter should be thick.
6. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling them right to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar or add the crumb topping, pressing the crumbles lightly so they stick.
7. Bake 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C), then, without removing the muffins, lower the oven to 350°F (177°C) and bake another 15–18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (about 22–23 minutes total).
8. Cool the muffins in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then move them to the rack to cool completely.
