Ingredients
for the muffins
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
for the cinnamon sugar swirls
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
for the buttery crumb topping
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 6 Tablespoons butter, melted
for the glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 2–3 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease 10 standard size muffin tins and line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the melted butter and granulated sugar, beating until combined. Add the eggs in one at a time. Add the sour cream, buttermilk and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until it begins to come together (not fully incorporated). Set aside.
- Next, make the cinnamon sugar swirl and the crumb topping. In a small bowl combine all of the ingredients for the brown sugar swirl. Stir to combine and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients for the crumb topping. Add the butter and mix together until the mixture clumps together. Set aside.
- Use a large spoon to drop coffee cake muffin batter into prepared muffin tins, filling them up about 1/2 of the way. You can use a small cookie scoop or if you want to be precise, drop 2 Tablespoons to keep things consistent. Drop a large spoonful of the brown sugar mixture over the bottom layer of the muffins. Top the brown sugar middle with the same amount of muffin batter to fill the muffins up about 3/4 of a way.
- Top each muffin with a large spoonful of crumb topping, gently pressing into the top of the muffin so that it sticks.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then turn oven down to 375°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until muffins are golden brown and spring back to the touch. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
- While the muffins cool, make the glaze. Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the crumb topping. Enjoy!

This recipe is not right. 6 TLBs of melted butter combined with 1/3 cup brown sugar makes brown sugar soup. I noticed that the recipe has been corrected since it was first published and 3/4 cup of flour has been added to the cinnamon swirl. The swirl doesn’t need the flour but the crumb topping does.
My guess is that the swirl amount should read: 1/3 cup brown sugar, 2 teas cinnamon. The butter topping directions should read: 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup flour . 2 teas cinnamon. The butter needs to be added slowly to develop the crumbs…fork fluffing as you go.
I usually have really great results with recipes from this site but this one was very frustrating.
I noticed the same thing and I’ve made these before but didn’t realize what happened until it was too late 🙁 I’m not sure why they changed the recipe to this because now the muffins are a mess. This is usually my go to site
Hi Melissa! I’m so sorry about that! We had a glitch on our site, but it should be updated now!
I think the buttery crumb topping is missing an ingredient…..runny when mix it….1/3 cup brown sugar, 2 tsps cinnamon and 6 T butter?
Hi Marybeth! You are absolutely correct–I’m so sorry about that–our site glitched but it should be fixed now!
What is the nutritional information, calories, carbs. Etc.
I melted the butter for the struesle like you said and it was runny so I threw it out and just creamed the ingredients. Still melted over the top…not lumpy like yours. Darn!
