Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Streusel Topping: 1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, mix the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
To make the streusel topping, combine all the streusel ingredients in a bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter. Sprinkle a generous amount of streusel topping over each muffin.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
