Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners.
- Stir streusel flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Drizzle in melted butter and toss into clumps.
- Whisk batter flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Whisk melted butter, eggs, sour cream, milk, and vanilla in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Fold wet ingredients into dry just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon batter to fill cups halfway. Add a spoonful of streusel, then top with remaining batter.
- Sprinkle more streusel over each muffin, pressing lightly so it adheres.
- Bake 16–18 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in pan 5 minutes, then move to a rack.
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm muffins and serve.
Notes
Variation: Stir 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans into the streusel or swirl 1/3 cup cinnamon sugar through the batter. Storage: Keep airtight at room temperature up to 3 days, or freeze up to 2 months and rewarm before glazing.
