Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
  • 1/3 cup cinnamon sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy, scraping the bowl as needed.
  5. Add eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and milk; beat until smooth and well combined.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  7. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups.
  8. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.
  9. Bake for 15–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
  10. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. If desired, while still warm, brush again with melted butter and roll in extra cinnamon sugar for extra crunch.

Notes

  • Store muffins at room temperature in a sealed bag for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months; reheat frozen muffins at 300°F for 12–15 minutes without thawing.
  • You can refrigerate the batter overnight; stir gently before baking (use within 24 hours for best rise).
  • For mini muffins (yields about 36), bake at 350°F for 10–13 minutes and watch closely.
