Coffee Cake Muffins

 


Ingredients:

Muffin Batter:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • pinch of salt

Buttery Crumb Topping:

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Finishing Glaze:

  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 23 tablespoons milk

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease 10 standard size muffin tins and line with cupcake liners and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, make the muffin batter.  Combine the melted butter and granulated sugar, beating until combined. Add the eggs in one at a time. Add the sour cream, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until it begins to come together (not fully incorporated). Set aside.
  4. Next, make the cinnamon sugar swirl and the crumb topping. In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the cinnamon sugar swirl. Stir to combine and set aside.
  5. In a third separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients for the buttery crumb topping. Add the melted butter and mix together until the mixture clumps together. Set aside.
  6. Use a 2 tablespoon scoop (or 1/8 measuring cup) to drop muffin batter into prepared muffin tins. Next, drop a large spoonful of the brown sugar mixture over the muffin batter. Top the brown sugar another 2 tablespoons of batter to fill the muffins up about 3/4 of the way.
  7. Top each muffin with a large spoonful of buttery crumb topping, gently pressing into the top of the muffin so that it sticks.
  8. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then turn oven down to 375°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until muffins are golden brown and spring back to the touch. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
  9. While the muffins cool, make the glaze. Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the crumb topping. Enjoy!
