Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
  • 2 sticks 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brow sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
Topping:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1/3 cup cinnamon sugar or more
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Line a muffin tin with paper cups and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon and salt. Stir and set aside.
  4. Add butter and both sugars to a large bowl and beat until light and creamy. Stop to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula.
  5. Add egg, sour cream, vanilla and milk. Beat until fully combined and smooth. Stop to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula.
  6. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and using a spatula fold them in. You don't have to use the mixer for this step, to avoid over-mixing the batter.
  7. Once the flour mixture has been fully incorporated, scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  8. Brush the muffins with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
  9. Bake the muffins for 15-25 minutes. It varies based on the oven, but start checking on them after 15 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, but NOT raw batter.
  10. Remove muffins from oven when ready and place pan on a cooling rack.
  11. If desired, brush muffins again with melted butter and sprinkle or roll in extra cinnamon sugar. This should be done while the muffins are still warm.
  12. Cool muffins in the pan for 10 minutes before removing them.
  13. Serve warm or at room temperature.
