Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (125 grams) unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons (75 grams) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon diamond kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 tablespoons (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (250 grams) unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons (8 grams) baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons diamond kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons (28 grams) vanilla bean paste
  • 2 large (100 grams) eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 grams) full-fat sour cream, room temperature


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place tulip muffin liners in a 12-cup muffin pan.
  2. In a bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, flour, sugar, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon to make the crumble topping. Mix until crumbled and set aside.
  3. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt for the muffins.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vanilla bean paste, eggs, and sour cream until smooth.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pan using a scoop, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping over each muffin base generously.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

For a nuttier flavor, you can add chopped nuts to the crumble topping.
Make sure the eggs and sour cream are at room temperature for the best texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
