1/2 cup unsalted butter
melted
Directions
10 STEPS
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or coat with non-stick cooking spray.
2
To make the crumb topping, combine the granulated sugar, 1/3 cup light brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, melted butter, and 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a bowl until a crumbly texture forms.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.
4
Combine whole milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream in another bowl.
5
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
6
Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups.
7
Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter, gently pressing it down into the muffin batter.
8
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9
For the optional glaze, mix powdered sugar and milk in a small measuring cup until combined and smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze or more milk for a thinner glaze.
10
Allow the muffins to cool completely, then drizzle with glaze before serving.
