Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Make the Muffin Batter

  4. Stir in sour cream and milk until smooth.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined (don’t overmix).

Step 3: Bake the Muffins

  1. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  2. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Step 4: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

  1. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.
  2. Brush the tops of the muffins with melted butter, then dip or sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
