- Sugar · for sprinkling9 tbsp
- Cinnamon · ground1 tsp
- Butter · melted, softened¾ cups
- Flour⅔ cups + 1
- Baking powder1 tsp
- Baking soda1 tsp
- Salt½ tsp
- Sour cream½ cups

- Milk¼ cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray or line it with cupcake liners.
- 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 crumbly with large crumbles. Set aside or refrigerate.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon if using.
- Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar on high speed about 3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape the bowl, add the sour cream, eggs and vanilla, beat on medium for 1 minute, then on high until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat on low until almost combined. Add the milk and beat on low until combined. Fold in any add-ins. The batter should be thick.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling them to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar or add the crumb topping and gently press it on.
- Bake 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C), then, without removing the muffins, lower the oven to 350°F (177°C) and bake 15 to 18 more minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes in the pan on a rack, then move the muffins to the rack to cool completely.
