    • Baking powder: 1 tablespoon
    • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Wet Ingredients:
    • Unsalted butter, melted: 1/2 cup
    • Eggs: 2 large

  • Cinnamon-Sugar Filling:
    • Brown sugar: 1/4 cup
    • Ground cinnamon: 1 tablespoon
  • Glaze:
    • Powdered sugar: 1 cup
    • Milk: 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  • Prepare Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients:
    • In another bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Combine Batter:
    • Gradually mix wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in sour cream to ensure a thick, creamy consistency.
  • Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Filling:
    • Mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Assemble Muffins:
    • Fill muffin liners halfway with batter. Add a layer of cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top with more batter until three-quarters full.
  • Bake:
    • Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Make the Glaze:
    • Mix powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Drizzle over warm muffins.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter.
  • Adjust cinnamon-sugar sweetness to your liking.
