    I am a major fan of coffee cake. I am also a major fan of muffins. I pretty much could eat a different variation of one or the other every day! What can I say, I love my carbs! We have a few different varieties of each on our site and I honestly love all of them! If you are a coffee cake and muffin fanatic like me, here are links to those other recipes.

Lots of times I make a big batch of them and stick them in gallon freezer bags for when we need an easy breakfast on the go or something fun to put in my kids lunches! By the time lunch rolls around these cinnamon coffee cake muffins are perfectly thawed, and my kids are always so excited to have a special treat in their lunches!

    Servings: 24 cupcakes

    Author: Pretty Providence

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup unsalted butter
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 2 ½ cups flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 ¼ cups sour cream
    • streusel topping (recipe below)
    • glaze (recipe below)

    Instructions

    • Make streusel topping (see recipe below) and stick in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill while you make your muffin mix. 
    • Add butter and eggs into a large bowl or mixer and beat on high until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating after each addition. Add vanilla. 
    • Gradually add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add sour cream and stir until just combined. 
    • Preheat your oven to 350 and put paper liners in two muffin tins. Divide your batter evenly among your cups (I use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop). Sprinkle half of your streusel topping evenly over muffins and gently press down into your batter with your hand, then sprinkle the remaining batter evenly over each muffin. 
    • Bake muffins until a toothpick comes out clean, usually 18-20 minutes, rotating tins halfway through bake time. 
    • Mix your glaze and use a spoon to drizzle over your muffins. Enjoy! 

    Notes

    These coffee cake muffins are amazing! They freeze great and save in the fridge for 7-10 days!

        Thanks for your sweet comment about the muffins! Nope, it's not a fake ad. We have an ad agency that takes care of advertising for us, and they change the ads that appear minute by minute, based on all kinds of computer-y things that we don't really know how to explain! haha! We completely trust them! Thank you for the heads up though! :)

      I have a similar coffee cake recipe but never thought to make it as muffins. Can't wait to try these! It's a bonus that they bake faster than coffee cake. Less wait time till that first yummy bite!
